Opening with The Great Gatsby, the 66th Cannes International Film Festival is set to be a glamorous affair attracting the world's leading filmmakers, dealmakers, actors and media.

If you can't be on the Croisette, step into the festival's spectacularly rich history with Phaidon's Cannes Cinema, a visual collection captured through the lenses of three generations of photographers of the infamous local Traverso family. From Louis Lumière to Quentin Tarantino, Grace Kelly to Penelope Cruz, the greatest film-makers and stars are immortalised in this beautifully printed and presented book.

Meanwhile, Citizen Cannes, the autobiography of Gilles Jacob - president of the Cannes Film Festival for 30 years - is a vivid and entrancing record of his personal encounters with the famous and glamorous. A great raconteur, Gilles Jacob regales the reader with personal stories about the biggest stars, among them: Woody Allen, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson and others from the golden age of Hollywood greats.
