Nothing happened on my 7th day in Cannes. That was the 20th of May, just a day before our press conference and screening. We continued going around giving out invitations to friends and people who were interested in catching THE TIGER FACTORY.
After that we bumped into Lee, editor of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's eventual Palm D'or winning 'UNCLE BOONME WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES', and the actress Wallapa (who played the princess in the film). We went off to have some kebab. Lee gave us tickets to the Uncle Boonme gala screening too, awesome!
At that time, Ming Jin's wife Tomoko and her friend Mayuko (who came all the way from the States to join us for the Cannes trip) had gone off for shopping. So went they were told that we had kebab, they wanted to have kebab too, so we went back for our second trip to a kebab stall. I was originally going to lead them back to where we went, but my non-existent sense of direction (unfortunately inherited from my dad), caused me to bring them to a... different kebab stall.
We agreed that the kebab there was better though.
We didn't do much that day. Wanted to catch a film in the evening, but missed it.
While in Cannes, Marion Cotillard's Dior advertisement could be seen everywhere. This new "Lady Blue" campaign is followed by a short film directed by David Lynch (!!!).
It was a highly inspiring ad.
After the sunset around 9pm, we headed to the Directors's Fortnight party held at the Club Quinzaine, at the Palais Stephanie hotel. From Club Quinzaine, I could get a good view of the Grand Hotel.
Yuiko the assistant producer.
The photographer who came to take photos of us had an assistant carrying a flash lamp.
More of the lead actress Fooi Mun, because prior to the trip she had asked me to take more photos of her.
Unnecessarily artistic shot of her that failed.
