Cannes-cannes-eando

Jean-Marc Thérouanne Festival de Vesoul

If you go down on the beach today may 21st - de cinq a sept- you're sure of a big surprise.....the biggest clutch of film festival directors in one party..

All summoned by FilmFestivals.Com supremo Bruno Chatelin  -for it is he- to the most truly international bring-a-bottle party you ever might see.

This traditional Cannes rendez-vous  is jointly hosted by that maven of the Black Nights of Tallinn - Madame Tina L. - for it is she-and Laurie Gordon Animaze Montreal International Festival of Animation, housed for a couple of sunny hours on the Estonian Pavilion - with much corkscrewing (will the Cork festival director attend0, will Chicago have the chutzpah to pre-empt his own secret soiree elsewhere ce soir, will Chichester cha-cha with Rio, and Rotterdam run riot with Reykjavik?)--- but if Russia decides to annexe Estonia tonight, most of the world's film festival circuit just might collapse.
