(CANNES, France) Laurence Salfati has been a part of the Cannes Festival press corps for nearly twenty years. She works for Lyon-based Radio Judaica and has interviewed all of France’s greatest film stars. René Chiche has been coming to Cannes for about as long as his aforementioned colleague. Chiche is a writer, a TV producer and a journalist. He owns a news agency that’s based in Paris and runs several publications, among which is Entreprendre. Both Laurence and René and myself have come up with our predictions for the winners. The Cannes Festival is closing today. Winners will be announced during the closing ceremony tonight a little after 8pm.
