Cinemaphiles, film fans and movie go-ers join movie stars and the big guns of the film industry at these international film festivals, and it’s easier than you think to get tickets to share the cinemas with them. World Reviewer gives you the know you need. Whether you’re an out and proud cinemaphile, a
film fan or a movie go-er, you can’t have failed to notice the
glamorous photos of film stars lounging casually on their yachts at Cannes, and thought ‘Well that looks like a nice life, doesn’t it.’.
I’m sure they slog it out behind the scenes somewhere, under the
harsh lights of the set, delving deep for the scripted emotional
response, as directors tear their hair out, scriptwriters cower and
editors, in their dark little rooms slowly go blind over a seconds
worth of footage; but by the time the press and then the public get to
them their blood sweat and tears have been reduced to an ‘Oh, he/she was an absolute pleasure to work with’ gush of poise and warmth all round.
The international film festivals
are where some of the best performances have to take place, as in front
of the gnashing jaws of the press and public, the pressure is on and
the big guns make their decisions about what we’ll be watching at our
local cinemas in the following year. For as well as an opportunity for
a big love-in about how great everyone is, a film festival is also a
place to see the best new film making talent, ask some
difficult questions of some big names, and see some films which aren’t
quite there yet, while hamming it up and swaning round town pretending you’re the next big thing.
Each festival has its own angle. Cannes dazzles in the chic, sun bronzed glamour or the French Riviera, Toronto and Berlin showcase their own national industries, but with a global view, you love our films, we’ll love yours, and Sundance,
struggles to retain it’s edge as the promoter of new and documentary
talent, despite the encroaching fat wallets of Hollywood. If you can’t
get tickets for the big ones, Lapland’s Midnight Sun Film Festival,
held over 120 consecutive hours in the height of summer, is one of the
new kids on the festival circuit, but quickly attracting a star studded
crowd looking for the next big thing.
The London Film Festival
treads the fine line between red carpet splendour and art house
intelligentsia, and is on in October, so there is still time to get
tickets if you’re inspired by the idea of sharing some popcorn with the
icons of your screen.
