Actor, director and all-round Hollywood legend has died in Venice, California, of cancer at the age of 74. Hopper, who first came to fame with “Easy Rider”, had a very varied career but was a regular visitor to Cannes.

Each year, the festival welcomes a side industry that lives off parties, fashion shows and receptions, [...]
Why should I get accreditation at the Cannes Film Market?
Cannes is fun. So each year, people turn up at the festival “to see”. The unspoken hope is that they will meet someone and get something going. A major – perhaps the most important – part of the Festival is in fact the Marché du Film. The entrance fee is about €400/$500 if you include [...]
