| Future of Cinema salon Series in Cannes program |
Fest21.com, CFC Media Lab and Telefilm Canada are proud to present another installment of our Future of Cinema Salon Series at the Cannes Film Festival. This year promises to be a stellar line up that includes MingleTalk at the Canadian Pavilion — an event that will be brokering conversations around the future of distribution amongst a varied group of maverick directors, rebellious producers and daredevil distributors. We will also be hosting in the Palais des Festivals our annual Future of Cinema Blockbuster Panel that brings together international voices around the table, plus a special hands-on demo of some of the most innovative works coming out of Canada, including Late Fragment a critically-acclaimed dramatic interactive feature film which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

| Indelible Images: 2008 Tribeca Film Festival Wrap |
Although it is tempting, it is actually quite difficult to take a diverse event as the Tribeca Film Festival and tie its themes or influences into one neat bow. Film festivals are, after all, about diversity and multiplicity of voices. While the programmers of the event certainly have an overall picture of how the films interact with one another, oftentimes the influences are not that clearly on the surface, and only become revealed days after their initial, sometimes accidental, pairing. There is also the confusing sense that as a member of the Press, my Tribeca viewing experiences were largely sans audience, at specially scheduled Press and Industry Screenings, filled with blasé reviewers and industry mavens.
