The film festival is a film event of exceptional nature or organized according to an annual rhythm, during which many films are presented to the public, often to the press and sometimes to a jury.

There are two distinct types of festivals: the festival organized by the management of a cinema, which is rather a retrospective and which consists in programming several films of the same director, of the same actor, of the same country or related to the same theme. This practice is common, and many rooms specialize in this type of event. More prestigious are the national or international festivals of short or feature films, which take place annually in the same city. These events can be competitive. In this case, a jury made up of several members (cinema professionals, various celebrities) and gathered around a president awards prizes: Best Film Award, Staging Award or Interpretation Award, etc. Festival organizers sometimes involve viewers in the vote and also award a public prize.

2- THE GREAT FESTIVALS

2.1- The Venice Festival

On the personal initiative of Benito Mussolini, the first film festival of history was born in Venice in 1932. It became competitive in 1934 and awarded each year two Mussolini cups, intended to reward respectively an Italian film and a foreign film. The Venice festival also awards a prize for female interpretation and a prize for male interpretation.

The film festival unfolds until 1942, without interruption. However, as early as 1938, the foreign film cup was systematically attributed to German films and that of the Italian film to fascist propaganda films.

Taken again in 1947, the festival remained competitive until 1968, year in which festival organizers put an end to the distribution of lions, rewards that followed the cuts in 1949 and which great filmmakers have benefited, such as Akira Kurosawa, Carl Dreyer, Satyajit Ray, Roberto Rossellini, Alain Resnais, Andrei Tarkovsky, Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti, and Luis Buñuel. In 1980, however, prices are restored. Among the most prestigious gold lions awarded since 1980 are John Cassavetes 'Gloria (1980), Wim Wenders' The State of Things (Der Stand der Dinge) (1982), Jean-Luc Godard's First Name Carmen (1983). ) and Eric Rohmer's Green Ray (1986).

2.2- The Cannes Film Festival

A film festival is organized in Cannes in 1939, but it must be interrupted after a few days, because of the declaration of war. In 1946, however, it resumed and, over the years, became the most prestigious film festival in the world. However, its beginnings are difficult, the event to be canceled in 1948 and 1950 for financial reasons. In 1955, the organizers replace the prizes with gold palms, which benefit Luis Buñuel for Viridiana (1961) and Luchino Visconti for the Cheetah (Il Gattopardo, 1963). The palms were in turn replaced in 1964 by grand prizes, which notably reward Jacques Demy for the Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and Michelangelo Antonioni for Blow up (1967).

Interrupted in 1968 by the events of May, the festival is reorganized the following year and is enriched by a parallel event: the Directors' Fortnight. This one, oriented towards the search of new talents, has helped to reveal to the public and the criticism most of the great film-makers of our time. In 1975, the Golden Palm made its return as the supreme reward of the Cannes Film Festival.

For twenty years, the Cannes Film Festival has remained a festival, a huge film market, the rendezvous of thousands of moviegoers and the privileged meeting place for film professionals and specialized journalists. Memorable scandals have occurred, often linked to the audacity of the films presented. In 1972, the jury was conspired to have given Jean Yanne the prize of male interpretation for his role in Maurice Pialat's "We will not grow old together". In 1973, the official selection of Marco Ferreri's Grande Bouffe sparked fights in the hall, and the awarding of the special grand jury prize to Maman and Jean Eustache's Whore was greeted with whistles. In 1987, under the sun of Satan Maurice Pialat receives the gold medal under the insults.

The Cannes Film Festival is now a major media event, mobilizing television channels around the world. Thousands of films are shown in the space of a fortnight. The new events are multiplying: Critics' Week, Cinema in France, A certain look, Cinema of always, films out of competition, etc.

2.3- The BerlinBerlin

festival The festival was born in 1951, with the bears as rewards. These are also generously distributed the first year, with four gold, three silver, and two bronze bears. But the jury soon became more selective and distinguished from 1958 by attributing the golden bear Wild strawberries (Smultronstället) of Ingmar Bergman, then in 1959 to Claude Chabrol for the Cousins.

Irregular in his selection as in his charts, the Berlin festival has nonetheless often defended independent writers, with a prize of staging awarded to Jean-Luc Godard in 1960, and gold bears to Michelangelo Antonioni for the Night (The Notte, 1961), Roman Polanski for Cul-de-sac (1966), Pier Paolo Pasolini for Canterbury Tales (The Canterbury Tales, 1972), Robert Altman for Buffalo Bill and the Indians (Buffalo Bill And The Indians, 1976), Werner Schroeter for Palermo (1980), Rainer Werner Fassbinder for Veronika Voss's Secret (Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss, 1982), John Cassavetes for Love Streams, 1984, Zhang Yimou for Sorghum red (Hong gaoliang, 1988), Marco Ferreri for House of Smiles (Casa del soriso, 1991) and Bertrand Tavernier for Appait (1995).

Accompanied by retrospectives and a side event, the International Forum for Young Cinema, the Berlin Festival is one of the most important festivals focusing on European cultural identity. It is a very complete and often exciting event.

3- THE OTHER RENOWN FESTIVALS

Both inaugurated in 1946, the Locarno and Karlovy Vary festivals resist time, cultivate their own identity and manage to establish programs likely to attract the international press. More experimental and intimate, less related to the movie business, they allow discovering films that escape the breeders of the three major festivals. The festival of San Sebastián, born under the Franco regime in 1953, remains, meanwhile, somehow, but has a place and a beautiful site that continue to ensure a certain prestige.

Established in 1959 under the Khrushchev government, the Moscow festival does not shine by the relevance of its selection. On the other hand, that of Pesaro, Italy, gives a large place to the experimental cinema and is often distinguished by the originality of its retrospectives. Similarly, the Valladolid Festival in Spain often makes remarkable selections.

In addition to these general events, there are specialized festivals, such as the Trieste festival for science fiction and Avoriaz for fantasy cinema. The festivals of Annecy, Ottawa, Varna, and Zagreb are specialized in the animated film, and those of Leipzig, Lussas, Nyon, Paris, and Marseille devote themselves to documentary cinema. Finally, the main world short film festival takes place in Clermont-Ferrand and Châteauroux, Krakow, Grenoble, Lille, and Oberhausen also host events dedicated to short films.

The Turning: an upcoming 2020 American supernatural horror film 

The Turning is an upcoming American supernatural horror film directed by Floria Sigismondi and executive produced by Steven Spielberg that is a modern adaptation of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. It will star Mackenzie Davis, Finn Wolfhard, Brooklynn Prince, and Joely Richardson.

The film is scheduled to be released on January 24, 2020, by Universal Pictures.

At a mysterious estate in the Maine countryside, newly appointed nanny Kate (Mackenzie Davis) is charged with the care of two disturbed orphans, Flora (Brooklynn Prince) and Miles (Finn Wolfhard). She quickly discovers that both the children and the house are harboring dark secrets and things may not be as they appear.

The film first entered development in March 2016 and was described as a passion project for Steven Spielberg, who wanted to be involved in a scary film again. The film adaptation went through two phases of production: first as Haunted with Juan Carlos Fresnadillo attached as director, then renamed as The Turning with Floria Sigismondi.

On March 9, 2016, Deadline reported that Amblin Entertainment was hiring Juan Carlos Fresnadillo to direct Haunted, which was inspired by Henry James' 1898 gothic ghost story, The Turn Of The Screw and would be scripted by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes with Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment, John Middleton and Scott Bernstein as the producers. Haunted, which was to shoot under the DreamWorks label, would have been one of the first new projects to move forward since DreamWorks, Amblin and Participant formed the new Amblin Partners late 2015, and DreamWorks, after distributing its movies through Disney since 2008, struck a new distribution deal with Universal.

On August 1, 2016, it was announced that Alfre Woodard had signed on to the project. Later that month, Rose Leslie joined the project as the lead.

On September 21, 2016, five weeks before shooting, Steven Spielberg personally pulled the plug on the project due to the page-one rewrite by Scott Z. Burns that caused seismic changes in the fabric of the story (altering characters, action, even the title) that it no longer resembled the project the studio signed on to make. Spielberg and DreamWorks decided the best course of action was to fire Fresnadillo and Burns, going back to the original Hayes Brothers script and looking to start fresh development with a new director, despite $5 million having already been spent of the $17 million budget.

On August 24, 2017, Deadline reported that Amblin Entertainment had set Floria Sigismondi to direct Haunted, now renamed as The Turning, which would feature a new draft by Jade Bartlett based on the original script by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes. Production was expected to start in early 2018 with Scott Bernstein and Roy Lee still attached as producers. In October 2017, Mackenzie Davis signed on to portray the lead role of the nanny. In December 2017, it was announced that Finn Wolfhard was cast as one of the orphans. In January 2018, Brooklynn Prince joined the cast. In February 2018, the rest of the cast was announced as principal production commenced. The casting of Joely Richardson was announced in January 2019.

The film was originally scheduled to be released on February 22, 2019, by Universal Pictures. In September 2018, the film was removed from Universal's release schedule, with DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World being released in its place. It is scheduled to be released on January 24, 2020, with Universal releasing the film wide domestically and in select international territories.

Chaos Walking, an upcoming 2020 American science fiction film. 

Criminologist Hercule Poirot researches the homicide of a youthful beneficiary on board a journey transport on the Nile River.

Letitia Wright is part of the cast of Kenneth Branagh's death on the Nile. The movie will fill in as a continuation of Branagh's 2017 Agatha Christie adjustment, Murder on the Orient Express, which he both coordinated and featured in as the famous Belgian analyst, Hercule Poirot. Passing on the Nile was planned to touch base in November 2019 right off the bat, yet was later pushed back to December and afterward at last October 2020. It's entirely certain that Fox rolled out the improvement to abstain from setting the film against one of Disney's discharges, fully expecting the Mouse House settling its securing of the organization's benefits (which at long last happened a month ago). 

Composed by Michael Green (who additionally adjusted Orient Express), Death on the Nile depends on Christie's epic of a similar name (distributed in 1937), and will pursue Branagh's Hercule Poirot - and his colossal mustache - as he researches the puzzling demise of a beneficiary on board a steamer going down the Nile. Much like Orient Express, the film is relied upon to include a ritzy gathering and has just included Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, and Killing Eve's Jodie Comer to its positions. Presently, a veteran of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has marked on to assume a key job in the homicide secret. 

THR is announcing that Wright has joined the Death on the Nile cast, in front of taping getting in progress this September. Explicit subtleties on her job (like her character's name) are being held hush-hush until further notice, yet Wright is said to play one of the lead suspects in Poirot's examination amid the motion picture. 

Wright, obviously, is best known for playing Wakandan princess and logical virtuoso Shuri in the MCU's Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. She's plainly got an affection for a class toll when all is said in done, having recently shown up on Doctor Who and the science fiction arrangement Humans, just as Black Mirror's "Dark Museum" scene and Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One (however her job was very little). She's additionally slated to impart the screen to Star Wars' John Boyega in Hold Back the Stars, an up and coming adjustment of Katie Khan's science fiction novel that has been depicted as "Romeo and Juliet meets Gravity". What's more, obviously, Wright is relied upon to return as Shuri in Black Panther 2 after Death on the Nile, notwithstanding having been "cleaned" by Thanos amid Infinity War. 

Concerning Branagh's film: it's relied upon to push ahead as arranged, even with all the sensational changes that Disney's creation to Fox right now. It's being accounted for that the Mouse House needs Fox to begin concentrating its endeavors on mid-go planned preparations, with an end goal to compliment Disney's own tentpole contributions (live-activity revamps, Star Wars and MCU motion pictures, and so on.). Luckily, much like Orient Express, Death on the Nile is required to have a moderately thin spending plan for a prominent discharge brimming with A-rundown entertainers, so it ought to be fine. It doesn't hurt that Branagh's past Agatha Christie adjustment earned $352 million at the worldwide film industry in spite of by and large tepid surveys from commentators - which means, there's plainly an interest for a greater amount of the entertainer executive's interpretation of the super-sleuth Poirot.

A Quiet Place truly appeared suddenly in 2018. Composed and coordinated by John Krasinski (who additionally featured close by his genuine spouse Emily Blunt), it was an exceptional change for a large number of us who were accustomed to seeing him play the ridiculous and adorable Jim Halpert on Netflix gorges of The Office. This motion picture was about as a long way from the Dunder Mifflin workplaces in Scranton as you can get. 

The main film was an unnerving interpretation of the great outsider intrusion, with animals who chase people dependent on sound. The continuation, which will likewise be coordinated by Krasinksi, will by and by star Blunt as Evelyn Abbott. Be that as it may, we hope to see significantly less of Krasinski on screen, since his character was executed in the first. There are dependably flashbacks and dream successions, however! 

Ideally, A Quiet Place 2 gives us a gander at the bigger universe of survivors, as the principal motion picture insinuated various families endeavoring to experience their days peacefully. There's likewise the likelihood that Evelyn will by one way or another have the capacity to lead a battle back against the animals, in the wake of finding a sound recurrence that appears to handicap their capacity to assault. We'll discover in May 2020.
