OFF DE CANNES

For two years, artists have had all the difficulties to express themselves to their public. 

To allow the OFF DE CANNES to continue to defend their interests in a more efficient way, we are pleased to announce the reopening of the Great International Web Contest since Tuesday, March 15, 2022.

The goal of the team, this year, is to give us the means to bring artists and art lovers more visibility in order to obtain a real recognition from our institutions. 

To do so, we propose to all artists, amateurs and professionals, to post their works (photos, videos, music, texts, clips...) on https://www.facebook.com/internationalwebconcours

in the fields of cinema, music, dance, fashion, writing, visual arts - photography, painting, sculpture, NFT and other digital arts - from March 15 to May 5, 2022.

This competition allows artists to express themselves in each artistic discipline : cinema (directors/actors), music, dance, writing, fashion (stylists, models, photographers), Fine Arts (photography, painting, sculpture). 

The OFF de Cannes will bring to the talents, often multidisciplinary, some of which are followed all year long and will become the stars of tomorrow, a connection with several of our professionals and an international visibility thanks to our numerous media partners from all over the world. 

Just to remember the last event during Cannes festival 2021, for the first time in 74 years the Cannes film festival have taken place in the heat of July, from 6^th to 17th. The 14th of July is a historic date for France. The last presidents of French republic invited the main personalities in the Presidential Palace of the Elysee for a mythic Garden Party. This year, the president Macron was not allowed to organize its event, due to the pandemic. So, Alain Zirah and Anne Gomis organized the OFF DE CANNES’ Garden Party of July 14^th at the Palais Massier, a luxurious place during Cannes festival, to celebrate their 15th anniversary. It was a great opportunity that could not be missed Alain Zirah and Anne Gomis to present a fashion show composed by a dozen of talented designers and beautiful models in a palace while, on la Croisette, tuxedos and long dresses rub shoulders with vacationers in shorts and flip-flops.

The show began with Adelia Martins and Francine Cazanobe with jazz songs from Saint Germain des Près. Brazilian dancers adorned with multicolored feathers set the palace in fire with caliente rhythms and André Lenzi mixed martial arts and oriental dancers for Lame d’Orient.
