In this podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Mark Adams, co-writer with Christopher Pickard of Cannes Uncut. Directed by Roger Penny and Richard Blanshard.
The story of the glorious excesses, triumphs and failures of Cannes is one that demands to be told. Penny and Blanshard’s documentary revels in the glamour, red carpets, parties and personalities which see the business of cinema implant itself on the French Riviera for two weeks every year. It ofers an exciting high-adrenaline, roller-coaster experience of what the film festival has come to represent over the years and what it might ofer in the future.
Cannes Uncut screens on 27th February at The Lighthouse Cinema as part of the Dublin International Film Festival.
