Me? VIP?
Because I was running workshop at the festival it meant I got a free VIP pass into the opening gala where I got to see the opening film, 'The Square'.
I first enjoyed a networking session in the Town Halls underground forest bar, the best type of bar. Really nice atmosphere too.
What was fantastic was seeing the 4 Sparks campaign outside, with my face on.
Had to get another picture.
I haven't really seen much independant avante garde cannes type films before, so I didn't have high expectations of the The Square. But I was wrong, I really really enjoyed it! Very powerful and emotive, highlighting the many flaws in art culture and our society as a whole, it made you think... As well as laugh and gasp. From an artistic perspective it was very aesthetic, strong compositions and repetition of 'the square' through composition was fantastic, I really liked that. I can see me watching more of these films now, I can't believe I have never given them time before.
