Cannes 2008 It's the biggest and the most glamorous film festival in the world, and after the Oscars, it is host to the most important competition in the movie calendar. If the Academy Awards are compromised by studio advertising budgets, the Palme d'Or purports to be above commercial considerations. A seven-strong jury weighs the merits of 20 movies from Hollywood, Europe, Asia and South America (no African films this year). These contenders have been selected by festival director Thierry...

The inconceivable happened in Cannes today. It rained. Not great when pretty much everything, bar the actual screening of films, takes place outdoors. However it didn't stop proceedings and the Croisette was once again packed full of people running to and from screenings, desperately trying to flog their film and drinking what seems to be an inconceivable amount of Rosé (the drink of choice at Cannes). First order of the day was to catch up with Simon Pegg and get the gossip on the events of... Read more
