Get some screen time
Most ceremonial events are for industry folks only, but many independent films hold free screenings after their debut.
Aim for the stars
The best celebrity sightings are at the red carpet entrance to the Palais des Festivals and the Carlton InterContinental’s Bar des Celebrites.
Put your best foot forward

Mix it up
Meet new friends or get your big break at La Croisette, the Riviera’s sexy promenade.
