Kodak celebrates 29 features shot on film at Cannes 2023

May 16, 2023

Kodak Motion Picture and Entertainment celebrated 29 productions shot on film at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Four on-film titles, Asteroid City, Fallen Leaves, La Chimera and The Old Oak, competed for the Palme dOr, with an additional three titles featured in Un Certain Regard and nine titles across DirectorsFortnight and CriticsWeek captured on film. 2023 also marks the centennial of 16mm film, and as proof of the formats continued relevance and popularity, seventeen of the on-film titles at the festival chose 16mm as their capture medium. 

Out-of-competition productions Maïwens Jean Du Barry, Sam Levinsons The Idol, Martin Scorseses Killers Of The Flower Moon and Steve McQueens The Occupied City were each captured on Kodak 35mm film.

“We congratulate all of the motion picture artists whose work was been selected for Cannes 2023,” said Vanessa Bendetti, global managing director of Kodak Motion Picture and Entertainment. To have so many shot-on-film productions screening and competing at the festival this year is undeniably testimony to the intrinsic value of the film medium. It is Kodaks distinct honour to have partnered with these filmmakers to help bring their artistic visions to the screen.”
