Getting the right rhythm for the digitisation of European cinemas.
It will take place in the Salle Buñuel (Palais des Festivals) on
Sunday 16th of May from 3pm to 4.30 pm. Last year’s Observatory

event should follow the trend.

kick off by looking at overall 2009 box office trends. Stepping out
nearby will be Elisabetta Brunella of Media Salles with
an analysis of digital roll-out in Europe for 2009. Then Susan
Newman, the Observatory’s film funding analyst will present a
guide to public funding currently available for digital roll-out. Also
tripping the light fantastic will be Francisco Cabrera,
Legal Analyst at the Observatory, who will focus on the complex legal
issues surrounding state aid for digitisation. Register

The Cannes Blitz Promotion Package Proposition
Cannes Market and the Cannes Film Festival are coming up soon.
Massive 18 foot waves hit the French coasts of Cote
d'Azur late on may 4th.
Cannes beaches where particularly hit but the promenade des
Anglais in Nice was the spot to be, that is if you are a kamikaze
surfer (like Brice de Nice) having waited since the last swell in
1959.
The constructions for the screen on the public Beach which
were underway have been swept away, the festival organizers announced
promptly that there should be no worries for the launch of the
festival next Wednesday may 13.
As far as I am concerned I think so much water is no good,
champagne?

One of the main venues for the Connecticut Film
Festival, which opens tomorrow evening, is the Palace Theater on Main
Street in Danbury, a once prosperous town 50 miles north of New York
City. From the theater's simple facade and faded charm, it is hard to
imagine that this was one of the important theaters in the Northeast,
where headliners and musical legends once entertained Danbury's upper
crust. The historic theater, originally built in 1928 when Danbury was
a wealthy town, h...
Yes, the Connecticut Film Festival, which begins this

for film, video and visual artists who call Connecticut home. That
explains the Festival's ambitious plan to gather the men and women on
