Long hot day

Long day out in the sun, got the worlds weirdest burn, tired, trying to stay up until a decent hour. I'm so glad I arrived early and was able to overcome the jet lag before the festival started. Lots of people are jet lagged and have been partying and look and feel like shit.

One thing that I'm finding is that we have a lot less informational material available to us then i think some of us would have hoped. For example we don't get official programs ( we have to scavenge for them, some peoples whole job here revolves around getting us programs, goodie bags and tickets) and alot of stuff is decided last minute. So basically you need to check the Internet alot ( which unless you are at the pavilion is hard To come by) and keep checking the notice boards for panel announcements, round tables and workshops.

Tomorrow i work late so I'm gonna go the pavillion print out some extra info about all of the Canadien production companies at the market so I can visit them in the early afternoon.I also need to decide which red carpet screening i want to attend because i need to
Sign up in order to be in the raffle for tickets. I think at least 1 red carpet walk is mandatory at Cannes!

Also fun fact, kodak is one of our sponsors again this year and the are providing us with 40(!) rolls of their new super 8mm film (100asa) to shoot with, develop on our own, manually splice and screen on a projector on our last night at the festival! So freakin' excited for that!
