Kannu festivāls ir prestižākais kinofestivāls pasaulē. Tajā bez konkursa programmas un pasaules pirmizrādēm notiek arī vērienīgākais filmu tirgus (kino industrijas profesionāļu tikšanās un jauno filmu projektu tiesību pirkšana un pārdošana utt.)
2011.gada konkursa programmā (filmas, kas sacentīsies par galveno godalgu – Zelta palmas zaru) iekļautas 19 filmas.
Starp tām ir tādu režisoru jaunākie darbi kā Pedro Almodovara "The Skin That I Inhabit", brāļu Dardēnu "The Kid With A Bike", Aki Kaurismaki "Le Havre", Terensa Malika "The Tree Of Life" un Larsa fon Trīra "Melanholija".
Kā ierasts, notiek arī citas skates, no kurām otra prominentākā ir „Un Certain Regard" programma. Ārpus konkursa tiks demonstrētas arī citas lentes, ieskaitot Vudija Alena "Pusnakts Parīzē", kā arī "Karību jūras pirāti IV". 64.starptautiskais Kannu kinofestivāls notiks Francijas kūrortpilsētā Kannās no 11.līdz 22.maijam.
Žūriju šogad vadīs amerikāņu aktieris un režisors Roberts De Niro.
