Movie industry ignores big issue at Cannes
In: Cannes festival| movies
20 May 2009Attending the Cannes film market 2009 was rather like attending the Midem music trade fair around the year 2000.

In: Cannes festival| phones
20 Apr 2009For about three years, I have been meaning to start blogging from my mobile phone. But I always wondered who would be interested. Although the capabilities are there, is there anyone out there really interested in reading what would be very short messages?
