2-0 for you :P
explanation will follow.
oh. mysterious :)
One of my community members, Fr Marc Gervais,SJ, a Jesuit priest, film critique and professor at Concordia University, has been to 40 Cannes Festival. He knows a lot of film people (directors, actors, actresses, etc). Fr. Gervais tells me a lot of funny stories about many of film people. This year he is not going. He is tired of it all and thinks it's becoming boring and commercialized.........
You're not loosing much my dear.
how special for you.
the list does not look so spectacular compared to other years, but still, with new movies from Bruno Dumont, Aki Kaurismaki, Richard Linklater, Ken Loach and Tony Gatlif... if u do go, can u pack me in your suitcase or something?
Palestinian director Elia Suleiman is also on the jury.

ghassan, behave
but of course jij..all we need is a divine intervention (3a seeret Suleiman)
i'm gonna be at festival de cannes!!
i'll send you pictures :)
But even if it´s becoming more and more commercial. To be in Cannes at this time is still a dream of me.
suleiman is the definitely the magnificent :) although the americans have yet to learn-- wasn't divine intervention banned by the oscars? i have yet to go to cannes...
I wanna be at Cannes too ..
:'(
ok u r at caada and can't do it.. but go damn it.. i'm in france and can't make it there.. now that is worse, no?
ditto,
my 7th year in france and still didn't get a chance to go to cannes, now how lame could that be?
How about a translator? At least a job like that would allow you to actually meet people, instead of just having to ask them to step out of the path of your lawn mower!
Maybe they need a Chief Olive Taster... ;-)
