FESTIVAL IN CANNES Special Screenings

FESTIVAL IN CANNES is the latest film from independent filmmaker Henry Jaglom (SHOPPING; DEJA VU; VENICE/VENICE; EATING). Shot entirely in the south of France during the Cannes Film Festival, the film stars Anouk Aimee (A MAN AND A WOMAN; LA DOLCE VITA; 8 1 /2); Maximilian Schell (JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG; JULIA, for which he won an Academy Award); Ron Silver (ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY; REVERSAL OF FORTUNE); and Greta Scaachi (THE PLAYER; PRESUMED INNOCENT). Also starring Zack Norman, and introducing Jenny Gabrielle and Alex Craig Mann.

Plunging deeply into the flamboyant madness of the world’s premiere film event, Jaglom uses that luxurious gathering as a backdrop against which to tell his story, taking us into the heart of the desperate, needy, funny, alternately glamorous and duplicitous world of the international movie business.

There are wonderful cameos by director Peter Bogdanovich (as a film director) and New Line head Robert Shaye (as a studio boss). Appearing as themselves are Faye Dunaway, William Shatner, Jeff Goldblum, Holly Hunter and impresario Michael White. Produced by John Goldstone in association with Judith Wolinsky, FESTIVAL IN CANNES is a Rainbow Film Company/Revere Entertainment production.
