The 76th Cannes Film Festival 2023 has begun with Day 1 already being marked to be in its fashionable glory. Bollywood celebrities like Manushi Chhillar, Esha Gupta, and Sara Ali Khan have already made their Cannes debut on Day 1 in gorgeous outfits. But the prestigious event is more than just a fashion gala. It is a celebration of cinema, and being part of the grand gala is an experience of a lifetime. As we wait for Anushka Sharma, and Mrunal Thakur to make their debuts too, we dig deeper to tell you all about what goes on behind the festival right from who gets the entry, the ticket costs and what is the esteemed value to win a prize at the distinguished Cannes Film Festival.
We all know that the Cannes Film Festival is one of the world's most prestigious and widely recognised film festivals and takes place annually in Cannes. It attracts filmmakers, celebrities, and actors to the extravaganza. People holding accreditation for the Cannes Film Festival 2023 can visit the online ticket office via the festival's official website.

According to foreign media sources, the tickets for the festival range in price from $6,100 to $25,000. Those who want to attend Cannes for free can do so by following open-air movies at the Cinéma de la Plage every evening at 9:30 pm.
While the tickets are an important aspect of the discussion, another matter is the prize for the winners. The answer may not be so straightforward. The festival showcases a wide range of films, including both mainstream and independent productions, and awards prestigious prizes. Winners of certain prizes receive monetary compensation too. The Palme d'Or is the highest honour awarded to the festival's best film. According to the reports by some publications, a prize is also granted to first-time filmmakers to assist in distributing their pictures in France. The Gan Foundation Prize for Distribution provides £17,600 in exchange for a marketing strategy.
The Cannes Film Festival only grows in momentum with every year, through brand associations or as part of the crew, attending the prestigious event is truly one of a kind.
