It's not clear whether this footage represents an extract from a news cameraman's dailies, or a portion of a documentary film. The 1959 festival was the 12th annual, running from April 30th to May 15th. The Palme d'Or this year went to ‘Orfeu Negro’ (Black Orpheus) by Marcel Camus. The hauntingly beautiful ‘Dairy of Anne Frank’ by George Stevens closed the show. The Cannes Film Festival runs annually in Cannes, France. New films covering every genre from around the globe are put to the test here. Bustling new actresses and directors mingle with veterans as a few are interviewed prior to the showings. The film opens with a soft black and white view of the shoreline of Cannes beaches (:11). Orson Welles (:25) enjoys lunch with guests. A short haired bombshell interviews over her featured work at the festival on a boat with city buildings of Cannes behind. A young Jean-Pierre Leaud is interviewed (5:31).
