Playing big films on festivals is SO misguided. And I know where it comes from: it comes from the head of the festival thinking that he'll play with the big guys, like that's the way to do it and it's SO not the way to do it. It's where Cannes went wrong, it's where Toronto is going wrong. I mean, I got off the plane in Cannes this year and the streets were paved with posters from studio movies. Who cares about that? Why come to Cannes for that? You're going to be able to see all those films anyway - you're not going to be able to avoid them, so I don't get it. Obviously.

Debra Winger

In terms of film festivals, Cannes is the greatest launch pad.

Hirokazu Kore-eda

Though all festivals are important, this Cannes Festival starts off the season.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

I've been to several international film festivals, including those in Locarno, Switzerland; Dubai; Russia; Berlin; Cannes; Bangkok; and Hong Kong.

Coco Martin

Cannes Film Festival prefers political films. We have to target certain festivals based on our films.

Vetrimaaran

Cannes is one of the biggest film festivals across the globe, and getting your film selected for a screening is quite a big achievement.

Shweta Tripathi

Sundance felt like a natural fit. I love coming here, and I do think that this festival suits my films rather than most of the festivals I've been to. I'm not going to Cannes, you know.

Taika Waititi

If you look at any film fest, the setting gives it colour. Be it Goa, Cannes or even Berlin in the winter, the setting makes these festivals special and gives it a definition.

Mani Ratnam

You see Mexican cinema in festivals throughout the world, and you see Mexican directors getting recognized at Cannes, at the Oscars, in Berlin, but the question is, What is the end result of that in terms of the market? That's where it's lacking.

Diego Luna

Once a film is selected at Cannes, the crossover becomes very easy, thanks to the prestige and dignity it gains at Cannes.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

I watch the Cannes awards ceremony because I relate more to the films that are competing in Cannes than the ones competing for the Oscars.

Gaspar Noe

You hear people saying, 'Oh I'm so tired, I've had enough of Cannes.' How can you have enough of Cannes? It's just the best place to be, like a fairytale.

Marjane Satrapi

Everybody said that a film that funny can't win because normally your Cannes winner will be something more serious. It's not very often that a film that's bordering on comedy has won in Cannes.
