Cannes Film Festival/Market

[Billy Summers]

Just curious if any RED Users/Makers will be attending the Cannes Film Festival this Year?

[Martin Ludwig]

wait until next year - then you can be sure....

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

I´ll be doing some panels on scoring on monday 21st at the international pavillon for filmmusic.

In English! So everybody can understand what we´re talking about (not being the norm at a French festival - english)

Well it's not quite 'The' Cannes festival but I'll be entering Le Festival Mondial de L'Image Sous Marine (World Underwater Imaging Festival) which will be held, as every year for the past 30 or so years, in the small town of Antibes Juan les Pins just a stones throw from Cannes. I'll get to walk through the Cannes between screenings, just to prepare myself for the 'big one' maybe just a few years down the road.

Cheers,
Mark.

The Third Man,
Let's please keep this forum for what it is intended, to discuss all things RED and Camera / Film making related. If you feel the need to shout out your political opinion I request that you do so in an appropriate forum far from the threads here at RedUser.

Not a rant, just a request.

Cheers,
Mark.

CamDiver you are so often left underwater from the World's mess. I can understand you now.

Cheers,
Mark.Understood. But Sanjin has the off-topic section in order to his opinions or am I wrong? The point is (as I already said and I stand) this forum wouldn't be the same without this useful member.

Take care all,
Emanuel :-)

[Sanjin Jukic]

Thanks Emanuel for the support, but anyway I will "calm down" with my "other" opinions.

[Emanuel A.]

Your trade mark, Sanjin. :) You're welcome! This community is like a family...where all good people are useful here.

[Mark Thorpe]

I completely agree that Sanjin is a respected and valuable member here. We all appreciate and respect the values of one another, we're all professionals in some light or another. I just don't see RedUser as a venue to air political opinions.


CamDiver you are so often left underwater from the World's mess.

And why do you think that is?? Enough said.

Cheers,
Mark.

[Sanjin Jukic]

Thanks Mark,

All my respect and understanding for you and your work.

Radicalism at Cannes? It's unlikely.

"...The Cannes Film Festival was created as a noble counterblast to the fascistic leanings of the Venice Film Festival under the aegis of Mussolini - and in fact that festival's purpose-built palazzo on the Lido, still in use, does have a worrying after-taste of fascism. (I get a similar, uncomfortable buzz at the Berlin Film Festival when I go to movies at the Zoopalast, a venerable old building that saw, in the words of a droll festivalgoer of my acquaintance, "some powerful speeches to a packed and enthusiastic crowd by the most famous public speaker in Germany's history".) The Cannes architecture is different, with sleek, cool, faintly disquieting buildings set into the parched summery hillsides of the Côte D'Azur. No one has ever described its psycho-geography better than JG Ballard in his novel Super-Cannes.

But does Cannes still deserve anything like a radical reputation? It was famously brought to a grinding halt in 1968, by a group of subversive movie brats led by Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, who invaded the Palais and brought "les événements" into the cinema, by demanding that all film-showings cease, in solidarity with the striking students and workers. Will any of this year's directors do the same in support of the dispossessed rioters and unemployed, demonised by President Sarkozy as "rascaille" - rabble?..."

I'm here in Cannes and it is very very quiet this year.

This year Cannes show us that a low-budget film can win Palme d'Or.

Cristian Mungiu Romanian director of "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" this year Cannes Palme d'Or winner said:

"I also hope that this award that I am getting tonight is going to be good news for small film-makers
from small countries, because it looks like you don't necessarily need a big budget and a lot of stars."

http://www.4months3weeksand2days.com/blog/wp-content/themes/432/images/blog_img.jpg

The film costs less than 600,000 euros (808,000 dollars).
Similar productions with RED would probably cost double less in a near future.

Same POV here. Your entry is welcome. It's good to know we're many future users here thinking the same! I have no doubt there's here who shall accomplish similar achievement. And Jim forgive us but RED will just be the medium. Important enough but only a tool, though "the" tool.

[Sanjin Jukic]

Thanks Emanuel.

[Emanuel A.]

The RED shooters won't be / are not less important than "the" protagonist over these same forums. Like sometimes it seems to be.

EDIT -- Did you ever watch the Cinealta's (F900) Iklimler/Climates (Cannes 2006), Sanjin?

http://www.nbcfilm.com/iklimler/photos/cannes-carpetuclu.jpg

What will it remain for the future? The memory of such wonderful camera? Or one of the most beautiful movies ever made? (Best one of the last years, that's for sure!)

http://www.nbcfilm.com/iklimler/photos/cannes-carpetarka.jpg

The movie has more or less 3-in-2 actors. Here's the couple and also main characters (husband and wife @real_life -- he's the Iklimler/Climates writer/director/co-producer and a talented still photographer too!)
