Ultra rare bronze medals awarded at the 1953 & 1956 editions of the prestigious film festival, the 6th and 8th ceremonies of the event that is today known as much for nubile starlets showing off their own golden globes. Thus, these 2" diameter bronze beauties date back to a "purer" time when more obscure "art" films usually won the big prizes. Gorgeous bronze medals are identical save for the year and edition, which are engraved with "Festival International Du Film Amateur" on one side and a Cannes streetscape on the other. In the film world, historical gems as good as gold. NRMT. Right up there with an Oscar, Emmy or Tony.
