International Film Festivals

[/Elena Baraban/]

Dear colleagues,

I've just read that there was a special nomination category - "The  
USSR" - at the First International Film Festival in Cannes in 1946. I  
can just speculate that if there indeed was such category it was  
created to recognize the USSR's contribution to the victory in WWII.  
Does any of you know anything more specific about the Cannes Festival  
in 1946. In general, is there a reliable book on this festival (and on  
other festivals such as, e.g. the one in Venice)?

Thank you very much for your advice,

Elena--
