    LE DIVORCE: The Cannes Festival and its main sponsor Canal Plus part ways

    PARIS - On Thursday it was announced that Canal Plus, a France-based media conglomerate that began in 1984 as this country’s first privately-owned television, would be definitively pulling out of the Cannes Festival as its main sponsors. Cannes, and Canal as it’s known more simply, have been in a collab for the last 28 years, the latter beaming the opening and closing ceremonies into hundreds of thousands of homes, its familiar logo omnipresent

    CANNES FESTIVAL announces summer-bound edition in 2021. But will it stick?

    CANNES FESTIVAL – The sun sets on 73*

    It's Sunday, May 24th. Normally I would've been be at the Cannes Festival for the 73* edition, the first of this new decade, hunkered down in the press room, gulping my umpteenth cup of coffee, with friends and colleagues, typing out the final reviews of this 2020 edition, running communication with others working from their hotel rooms, getting confirmations, or denials, about the latest rumor from the Villa

    OPINION: #cannesfestival2020, an enigma wrapped in mystery with a cliffhanger that’s … never coming?
