About CANNES FILM FESTIVAL:
The most coveted, influential and prestigious festival for quality cinema in the world, the Cannes Film Festival (le Festival de Cannes) was founded in 1946, and is held annually at Cannes, a resort town in the south of France, in the month of May every year. There are 8 main awards that are given at this festival. The highest award at the festival is Palme d’Or, or the Golden Palm. The other awards include the ‘Grand Prize’, ‘Best Actress’, ‘Best Actor’, ‘Best Director’, ‘Best Screenplay’, ‘Jury Prize’ and ‘Best Short Film’.
I have recently bought DVDs of Lord of the rings from the online store of Palador and one Bergman Pack. The experience is very bad. There is a problem in DVDs of LOTR but no one is ready to help. There are no numbers on the site. Emails sent to support team are not answered. So beware before buying. Spending thousands of rupees on Masters of Cinema may go waste.
