They
all must make their grand entrances up the red carpet, pose for the
cameramen jabbing each other for the best shot, wave to the fans screaming
for autographs, give an occasional interview and enter the auditorium.
Some will be seeing the final cut for the first time, others will
be sizing up the audience reactions, all hoping to come out of this
adventure with a Palme d'Or.

The
perfect way to promote a film in Cannes, or grease a few hundred palms,
or hobnob with VIPs, all the parties look to outdo the others. For
the Moulin
Rouge
Party, Fox brought over the studio decor, same idea for the Lord
of the Rings
preview party which had a whole village brought in. Filmax covered
a swimming pool which turned into a dance floor, which eventually
caved in to become a swim party. The Avalon party took over
the futuristic house of Pierre Cardin and leave it to Moving
Pictures to host one of the best bashes each year at the Chateau
de la Napoule.

about this year's films, heading
home empty-handed. For the first time an Indian
Pavilion was set up in the market in response to the steeply
rising sales graph of Indian blockbusters in foreign markets. And
some of the market issues of interest: the
gay globe, hands
up for porn & the
ratings war.

Those
marginal types either trying to break through to the other side
such as Australian filmmaker Jeremy
Weinstein whose film Looking for Harvey stars Andie McDowell,
Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke; and they don't know they're in it.
Or others such as maverick filmmaker Tony
Kaye who changed his tune and turned to rock 'n roll because
his daughter told him rock stars are better, in Cannes promoting
his new group K.
