Nothing is predictable / day
Movies that withstand the selection of cans can hope for miraculous adventures and dizzying success. Mentioning an example? Streamwhose adventures in the world began almost a year ago, thanks largely due to the official program of the Cannes Festival. Everything else, as you say, is already history. Tire The adventures continue – on April 30, the film is welcomed by a unique screening in the Mexico City Square, which will bring about 200,000 spectators. And on 29 April, the European Parliament will announce in Brussels Lux Winners of the Spectator Prize – Stream There is one of the five nominated films. Then, it seems everything – Stream will have gone through a full cycle of European and US Awards and will be able to serve as a learning aid for a small country film to take an incredibly successful way in the world.
Any of the lucky works that are selected for the Cannes Film Festival program are hoped for a similar experience. According to Tier Fremo, director of the festival at a press conference, this year the festival has a record number of films – 2909 films from 156 countries. Don’t ask me how to watch and evaluate it all, but the Cannes team has the following skills, and you can always align with a metaphor, for example, this trier Fremo’s expression: « We don’t choose movies – movies choose us! » May it be. I have to agree that the cinema predicted during the pandemic is alive – everyone wants to make films, despite social media. « Cinema is, in a sense, the opposite of social media. Instagram The video can be used in cinema language, but it’s not a cinema. Cinema means creating films that oblige their creators to take responsibility, « says Trier Fremo.
The Cannes Competition Program addresses the dedication of American director Richard Linkleiter to the legendary stylistic direction of French cinema, the New Wave. This is also the title of the movie – Nouvelle Vague. Couldn’t such a movie be hit at the Cannes Festival? Of course not. The competition is represented by American authors Ves Anderson, aster and Kelly Reicharte, European classics and winners of the Cannes Festival – Belgian director brothers Dardeni and Frenchwoman Jill Dikurno – as well as Norwegian Jakim Trier and others. The competition includes Ukrainian director Sergei Loznica’s film Two prosecutorsthe co -production of France, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany and other countries. The co -financing instruments available in Latvia are used in the financing of this film. The works of the authors of Latvia – as in Lithuania and Estonia – have not pulled the lucky lot this year.
In conclusion, I will cite Tierre Fremo, who has emphasized that the global success of several Cannes Festival films confirms the impact of the festival. « A year ago none of us could predict the 2024 Cannes Festival Film Substance (..) and Stream global success. I hope that similar successes will be the open films opened at the 2025 festival. That is why this game is wonderful because nothing is predictable. «
