As usual, there are a few that will cause a lot of talk. “The Conquest”, based on French President Sarkozy’s rise to power springs to mind. “The Tree of Life” [...]
Cannes 2011 poster celebrates Faye Dunaway
The poster for the 64th Festival de Cannes celebrates Faye Dunaway. The shot was taken by film-maker Jerry Schatzberg in 1970. I’ve often wondered why a festival so dedicated to the future of cinema so frequently chooses such retro images. One reason – though perhaps not the best – is that it is impossible to [...]

A personal selection of upcoming events at Cannes 2010
People come to Cannes for different reasons. Unless you’re “just hanging”, you want to meet people and pick up leads and tips at Cannes. So outside of meetings I have a tendency to check out the receptions, conferences and networking events. The American Pavilion, Kodak and UK Film Centre have great conference programmes. Over the [...]
Cannes parties: where to go in 2010
