Discovered a nice bakery at Juan Le Pins in the morning.
Took a walk by the beach.
Headed to Cannes. Caught an Un Certain Regard film called 'R U THERE' by David Verbeek. It's a Dutch film set in Taipei.
After that I saw Miffy. So cute!
Then we went to the Main Palais. Was in awe by the support given to some films by their own countries.
Bumped into Kiki and Ono-san. One of my latest short films was done with them (with Kiki as main actress/ producer) and Ono-san as one of the executive producers)
Headed off to Chinese director Jia Zhangke's (贾樟柯) post-screening party. (his documentary, I WISH I KNEW, was shown under Un Certain Regard section) on the rooftop of some building.
Nice food.
From left to right: Filmmakers Wang Xiaoshuai 王小帅, Jia Zhangke and the actor Qin Hao 秦昊, whom I recognized from Lou Ye's film SPRING FEVER (I saw it at last year's Seoul Cinema Digital Film Festival, it was the opening film). This time Qin Hao was in Wang Xiaoshuai's competition film, CHONGQING BLUES.
Jia Zhangke and Abbas Kiarostami.
With Wang Xiaoshuai.
The two actresses I've collaborated with.
I chitchatted with Qin Hao, and told him his performance in Spring Fever reminded me of a young Leslie Cheung, he was overwhelmed, though we both agreed that I would rather he has a happy life.
With Abbas Kiarostami.
Jia Zhangke with his muse Zhao Tao 赵涛.
It was already 9 when the sun was setting.
At 10pm, we went off to the Korean party.
From left to right: Kiki, Ming Jin, Kim Ji Seok, Lorna, Kim Dong Ho and Hiromi
Managed to catch the last train at 12:10am home after that.
