Thank you. >------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't think the Festival itself will engage students. Never saw it. But a big part of the festival is not run by the festival itself: the market. It takes place in the "bunker" itself, in a lot of tents and pavillons around, and in some hotel suites. There indeed might be chances to find a job. Only, the way would be to contact the exhibitors directly -- the festival wouldn't have any influence. Your student should find out (good exercise) which American exhibitors will be going to Cannes; and should contact them. Same could be done with some British exhibitors like the British Film Institute in London (installing every year a big pavillon). By the way, to know at least some French wouldn't be too bad for a job in France. Because of the presidential elections in France, the festival was post- poned for one week: May 17 to 28. Hope this helps. Klaus Klaus Eder [log in to unmask]
