In partnership with the Cannes Market, Filmfestivals.com, MM2 Editions and Moving Pictures in Cannes at the Majestic Beach from 3pm to 5pm, we organized:
THE CONFERENCE : THE FUTURE OF CINEMA
The conference started with keynote speakers:
- Frank Otto, the composer and director of the first open source rock opera movie
- JD Lasica, the author of Darknet: Hollywood’s War against the Digital Generation.
After the introduction by the keynote speakers, the panel to discuss the various aspects o...

During my current experiment of trying to "do" Cannes while not actually being there (in others words, virtually if not physically), it is quite astonishing to me that so little actual coverage is available to the average American consumer. Yes, we did catch a glimpse of Tom Hanks on the red carpet, and read much speculation about the fate of THE DA VINCI CODE, but it seems that anything that is not part of the tyranny of celebrity gossip finds scant space in American newspapers or television s...

Red Road is the only film up for not only the Palme d'Or but for the Camera d'Or as well.

Spain's film making tradiotionaly combines artistic ambition with genre grounding. In the pasr Spai...
Last night my colleagues and I got the opportunity to climb the stairs at the premier of Fast Food Nation directed by Richard Linklater featuring Ethan Hawke, Greg Kinneer, and Wilmer Valderrama.
We arrived at about 9:45 and while we eagerly waited in line the cast of Volver exited the Pailais and descended the stairs.
We entered the Palais at about 10:15. Walking the red carpet was awesome. There was about 100 paparazzi lined up and flashing their cameras. The music was blasting and ther...
With the worldwide simultaneous release today of THE DA VINCI CODE across the globe, a question lingers in the air: Did Cannes kill The Code? Or more specificially, did the buildup and hype surrounding the Cannes opening create such a high expectation that the film will suffer from disappointed critics and viewers?
While the mass hysteria over THE DA VINCI CODE has passed into memory in Cannes with all the subtlety of a hangover after too much champagne, the industry waits with bated breath th...

For several personal reasons, I am not attending the Cannes Film Festival this year, a sojourn that I have taken more than 15 times in the last 20 years. So, here I sit nearly 5000 miles and six time zones away, remembering previous Croisette crawls and still feeling the rumblings of an event like no other in the film business.
I remember the long, meandering walks along the famously crowded Croisette, the flop sweat of rushing from one meeting to another interview, the exasperation of negotia...
Wednesday was the first official day of the festival, but to a few select few it really started on Tuesday.
Tuesday was the arrival of the Da Vinci Code Key Players: Dan Brown, Ron Howard, Paul Bettany (who also starred in Wimbledon...a quality piece of romantic comedy with a superb soundtrack in my opinion), Ian McKellen, Audrey Tautou, and Tom Hanks...to name a few. Unfortuantely, Hanks likes his privacy, so I only got a really good picture of the reflective window in his car.
They arrived ...
