67th Festival de Cannes 2014 - Festival Strategies Case Study

A part of a free-formed series of film festival studies lectures, the Festival de Cannes Case Study lecture comes right after the announcement of the 67th Festival de Cannes Official Selection, the 53rd Semaine de la critique Cannes and the Quinzaine des Realisateurs Cannes Line-Ups. Therefore the very shape of the forthcoming annual of the events is to become the center topic. We aim nevertheless to present and discuss the organization, stratification, politics, program, history of the festival and its side sections as a whole. The lecture is about to be discussed from the point of view of a film author/producer who wants to use the festival for his own purposes, and from the perspective of a festival curator/programmer/organizer who needs to work with the Festival de Cannes as his upmost reference. How to submit and present a film. What is important and what is not. When to start to work with your film while aiming for a festival selection. How does the festival programmer think - and how to take advantage of it.
