FUTURE OF CINEMA SALON Festival de Cannes May 21 2008 

INT. JEAN LOUIS BORY PALAIS K 

The Panel discussion is introduced by WAYNE CLARKSON, 

executive director of Telefilm Canada, co producer of this 

year’s opening film titled BLINDNESS 

WAYNE CLARKSON 

We appear like one of the most 

wired agencies in the World ... 

WAYNE fiddles with the microphone fashioned to his lapel and 

the wires clipped to his belt 

... the Federal Agency Of the 

Canadian Government for Digital 

Media! 

ANA SERRANO 

ANA suggestively gestures as a puppeteer... 

Someone is pulling the strings 

behind the curtain! Since we are 

here, in a THEATRE, I do not have 

control of my laptop! 

BRUNO CHATELIN 

There, the need for opening eyes 

with 26 books on film starts here 

with a social media, and the 

Audience is catching up! 

GAURAV DARTS his eyes from left to right 

GAURAV DHILLON 

It’s a technique called twitter! 

ELLIOT KOTEK removes his spectacles, STROKES beard and 

adjusts his collar 

BRUNO CHATELIN 

It’s no more film, it’s close to a 

game! 

GIT SCHEYNIUS 

We must find ways to SEE the 

Audience, create a new kind of 

cinema. 

ANA and WAYNE exchange seats, BRUNO exits STAGE LEFT to be 

seated in the audience

GAURAV DHILLON 

Let’s communicate with each other 

and BE entertained, the Rise of the 

UNMOVIE STAR!...  

GAURAV gestures by pressing his palms together and looks 

STAGE RIGHT to MARSHAL MARC HALPERIN! 

...You have to get theatrical, or 

nothing. The words we use will go 

away, yes, death of the critics... 

there has to be a community 

conversation... 

Like a shiny toy with GLEAM in the eyes 

...There are 300 million on line in 

China beating piracy in 

advertising. 

You have got to have feelings! 

Bring on the BLOGGER VOICE

MARSHAL MARC HALPERIN 

I got that REAR WINDOW VERTIGO! 

You know we are not in the Art 

House ghetto. To the audience 

theatre offers them the opportunity 

to get out of their homes and the 

3D experience enhances this!...

Thoughts TURN to the U2 3D show at Cannes in 2007 

...It’s about figuring a way out the 

Money can get back to the 

producers, and it really comes down 

to awards, in a Deluxe package! 

People want to attend the Festivals 

from “The Living Room Set”. 

Bring on ELLIOT KOTEK, voice of the Critic, the Community, 

and now the Festivals 

ELLIOT KOTEK 

Making something for Art’s Sake you 

do not even expect to make any 

money!...

The audience GASPS 

...Branding the beginning, having the 

wreath on the film, Cannes 

Branding. 

The audience’s eyes ROLL 

MARSHAL MARC HALPERIN 

A 170 million dollar Crystal Skull... 

PAUSE as ELLIOT turns his head toward MARC 

...And a 3.4 million dollar canvas 

sells for 15 million dollars. 

ELLIOT’s gaze turns to CAMERA 

ELLIOT KOTEK 

The Studios are looking to the 

Audience. We need to build in the 

Audience a Studio mind-set, a 

reason to leave home, a cheap 

event. 

GAURAV DHILLON 

Yes and the difference is Air 

Conditioning! 

BRUNO CHATELIN 

An Inflatable screen and Soccer!...

BRUNO faces the audience for question 

AUDIENCE 

Did you know on Bebo you can TALK 

to the characters? 

BRUNO CHATELIN 

And on GOOGLE it’s 300 spoofs for 

30 laughs!
