Airdate: Cannes Uncut

Doco special Cannes Uncut takes a look behind the scenes of the Cannes Film Festival, the gloriously glitzy film event that has come to represent the best in cinema with its unabashed standing ovations.

Over nearly eight decades, this once art-house orientated festival has developed and morphed into an event where the marketplace of buying, selling and marketing films sits alongside festival glamour and high art. It has introduced not only some of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time, but equally some of its most commercially successful and popular.

With unique insights and interviews, Cannes Uncut is a look at everything the festival was, is, and could be.
