One thing I noticed at the screenings this year was an increased use of cell phones during the films. This is strictly prohibited and frowned upon in Cannes, but I've also found that if you ask people politely to stop, they will apologize and turn off their phones.
All the attendees at the event received a free copy of my new book, "It's time to give a FECK: Elevating Humanity through Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion and Kindness"...at least until we ran out of copies!
Each year, the Angieneux lens company presents an award to an accomplished cinematographer. Previous winners have included Vilmos Zsigmond, Roger Deakins, and Ed Lachmann. This year, the prize was taken home by Indian Director of Photography, Santosh Sivan.
One of the great things about traveling to film festivals year after year is not just seeing the movies, but also catching up with the good friends you make over the years. I had a wonderful chat with our Far-Flung Correspondent from Brazil, Pablo Villa.
