Kering Women in Motion : Charlotte Gainsbourg
Inspired by Brigitte Bardot, Lars Von Trier and her own documentary, My Mother.
A few steps, I can have a Vision, any character. My secret rhythms, different pace, slow
movement. A red shoe meaning ballet, I’m strong, Lemon incest and Shy.

Charlotte Gainsbourg
On character and provocation such as playing Gisèle at 16 raped and found guilty, being another
character provokes strong performance, such as in “Melancholia” and having 3 days with Wes
Anderson, a God - "Phoenician Scheme".

"Die My Love", Cannes 2025 press conference sketch with Eric Kohn, Seamus McGarvey, Sissy Spacek, Robert Pattinson, Lynne Ramsey, Jennifer Lawrence, LaKeith Stanfield, Catherine George, and Tim Grimes - on production design.
Themes explore Sex passion. A guy in vernacular hopes to change course. Emerald colour and
hope for the future.
The light at the end of the tunnel starts to dim. A Surreal mooonlight sun.
Guns of Brixton, with a huge boundary of musical quality.

Cannes A Melody with one hand.
La Lecon de Musique de Alexandre Desplat and Guillermo del Toro anime par Stephane Lerouge.
“Emotion is the new punk. Pinocchio lyrical”.
Inside the film camera is floorless. Shape of Water. Surprise. Find character, this came from Jazz.
The 1st part is the camera. Let it breath. Film like a composer. Horizontal”.

“The Phoenician Scheme”.
Trans mountain, inland waterway, hydro electric power stripping away the emotional map on pages. The best costumes, like God discovering shaping water and sculpting. Wes Anderson and Zsa-Zsa Korda, the kid inside a bath tub for 7 hours on set. Step inside, steal the props, here’s where two ideas meet imagination in very dark capitalist contradictions appear layers of Grey, Black and White tones.
Didier Allouch, Riz Ahmed, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Cera, Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Rupert Friend, Richard Ayoade, and director Wes Anderson.

Cannes Talent Talk at UK Film Centre with filmmakers of "Pillion", hosted by Wendy Mitchell.
Sketch includes Gareth C.Scales, (editor), Lee Groombridge (producer), Nick Morris (DoP), Harry Lighton (writer, director). Sketch Scene opens with the empty passenger seat of a CBR biker and the musings on both compromised costumes, the classic leathers and alternative style of a cream onesie. Screen UK offer a camper for dressing, complete with a super in and out self stabilising feature for talent on location. The Best scene, shot with Alexa K5, brings the ACTION on for the romp in the woods… directed dialogue slithers out it’s like Bacon (artist’s reference to Francis Bacon) “it’s way under that… start until I get stuck”. (PAUSE) “I can direct this!”
The editor comments he’ll “stay far away as I can” … and that may well be for another 9 months!
Does he have a day job? (LAUGH)

Cannes Variety host Kering Women in Motion Award for Taraji P. Henson and with Dr. Stacey L. Smith.
Original stories include mental health focusing on colour, in Purple and Straw. Taraji offers an over the shoulder look, and comments “it was two women that saw her, they follow me! I love people”!
Taraji stuns audience, modestly, as she is introduced as having the largest fan base and highlighting an international range of colour.

My festival takeaway from Cannes Courts Metrages, five films (screening 20th Mai 2025)
“Our love is like grain, to be planted. The last hug dies and is born as wheat in an empty space of our own architecture.”
