The Wider Image: Cannes from the sidelines
People sit inside the Festival palace at the 69th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, May 17, 2016. Photographing the Cannes Film Festival comes with highs and lows: from the long hours and painstaking task of setting up equipment to the thrill of getting the perfect shot. Reuters photographers have not only worked to capture auteurs talking about their films and stars posing on the red carpet. They have also shot a set of pictures showing their own quirky view from behind the scenes as they travelled to Cannes to cover the event.
