Don't Forget Inglourious is Bloody

Apparently it's not too early to keep your ears open to films that will be shown at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. Already there are reports that a film by Iranian director, Abbas Kiarostami, will be shown at next year's festival.

The film, Certified Copy, was shot in Tuscany; so I have an inkling the cinematography will have something to offer. It stars French actress Juliette Binoche of Chocolat, Bee Season, and Dan in Real Life- to name a few.

Kiarostami is no newbie to the festival. In 1997 he won the Golden Palm award for his film Ta'm e guilass, and was nominated two other years for the award.

In other somewhat unrelated news:
A friend and I went to see Inglourious Basterds last week. I saw it at the festival, and loved it. But I had somehow forgotten how bloody it is. She's not very fond of blood... Woops.

It's Not Over!

So I've been thinking...and I don't want to stop my blog just because I went to Cannes once. I want to go again!

I am going to be working on a short film in my final semester of undergrad. And I am going to submit it to the Cannes short corner so I can go back for Cannes 2010.

In the meantime I will update on everything I find out about Cannes 2010, and any newsworthy info on the Cannes Film Festival past and present.


Keep checking back! I'll also update on how the making of the short goes.
