Cannes International Film Festival.
The partnership of Filmalbatros, the Italian production
company headed by Marco Bellocchio, and Sergio Pelone of Bottom Line
has produced its first film, L’ora di Religione. In competition yesterday, the
Italian language feature was co-produced with Rai Cinema and world sales
are being handled by Rai Trade. Talking of the partnership, Sergio Pelone,
CEO of Bottom Line, said “For me it was a special moment when Marco
Bellocchio of Filmalbatros suggested that I should come on board, and
working with him for the first time on L’ora di Religione was really a twoway experience. Bellocchio is a director who understands the limits of a
budget without sacrificing his creative needs”. Filmalbatross is currently
preparing a number of projects, which will see the company involved in both
Bellocchio and other directors’ films. One of the many new projects
announced at Cannes include the Bellocchio directed true story of the
kidnapping of Italian politician Aldo Moro.Commenting on future
production plans, Pelone said “We are interested in discovering new
directing talent in Italy and working with international partners”.

cinéma du monde:
“C’est un monument historique à
vocation universelle et dont la survie
dépend de chacun”. Le 15 juin 1889
était inauguré l’Eden, à La Ciotat,
près de Marseille dans les Bouchesdu-Rhône. Cette salle a accueilli les
L’Eden, La Ciotat
premières

du
cinématographe des frères Lumière, inventeurs du cinéma. Pour défendre ce
patrimoine inestimable, une association s’est formée “Les Lumières de
l’Eden” grâce au soutien de la municipalité de La Ciotat et avec le concours
de nombreux artistes rassemblés autour du petit-fils de Louis Lumière,
Gilles Trarieux-Lumière, épaulé par deux parrains de prestige, Claudia
Cardinale et Daniel Toscan du Plantier. Un comité de soutien constitué de
très nombreux professionnels réputés, s’est constitué parallèlement autour
de Bertrand Tavernier. Ces initiatives sont destinées à assurer la sauvegarde
et la réhabilitation du plus ancien vestige mondial dédié au 7ème art.
“1 euro pour L’Eden”. Pour donner corps à ce projet, l’association a disposé
pendant le Festival de Cannes, des urnes destinées à recevoir la symbolique
contribution de chacun d’entre nous. Si ces petits cours d’eau parviennent à
faire de grandes rivières, alors l’Eden se remettre à flots et repartira pour
100 ans!

Day 5 • Cannes Film Festival 2002
se tiendra du 6 au 13 juillet à Taormina a de puissants appâts ; la
prestigieuse cité sicilienne sise en bord de mer est une ville-musée qui
possède un vaste et remarquable théâtre grec antique. C’est justement
dans les gradins de cet émouvant vestige que seront projetés certains films
de la sélection ; une programmation éclectique – émaillée cette année
d’un hommage à Sergio Leone. Pour célébrer cet illustre réalisateur,
Ennio Morricone conduira personnellement le Roma Sinfonietta
Orchestra accompagné de trois chœurs, soit plus de 190 artistes. Et il ne
s‘agit là que de la soirée d’ouverture ! Depuis 48 ans, le festival réunit de
grands noms du cinéma, récemment Jane Campion, Peter Weir, Stephen
Frears, Liam Neeson, Tom Cruise, Ettore Scola et bien d’autres sont venus
apprécier l’hospitalité sicilienne de Taormina. De plus, il n’est pas
vraiment prévu de compétition entre les films, ce qui ajoute à la sérénité
des débats et à la gaieté du lieu.
Un festival attractif qui s’est doté récemment d’une section de courtsmétrages internationaux, et de courts-métrages siciliens avec remise de
prix à la clé.

The Lighter Side Of The Business Of Film (Life should not always be so serious)
The World Famous
SUNSET STRIP
Sunset Boulevard
Picking up from yesterday’s West
Hollywood: Film City,
ne of the most famous
streets in the world, Sunset
Boulevard or Sunset Strip
as it’s better known, began its life
in the early 1920s as an unpaved,
two-lane
road
connecting
Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
In the thirties and forties, the
Sunset Strip was the enclave of a
golden era. Intellectuals and
celebrities such as Robert
Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Greta
Garbo and Errol Flynn enjoyed
dinner dances at supper clubs such
Ciro’s and Mocambo before
retiring to the legendary Garden of
Allah courtyard hotel, a popular
hang-out with Humprey Bogart,
Howard Hughes and F. Scott
Fitzgerald.
O
In the following decades, the Strip
enjoyed the underworld edge of
Bugsy Siegel and a series of social
revolutions. From the flower
children to the glam-rockers and
the dance scene, fans of music
trends have been tuning in to
legendary Strip club venues like
the Whisky, The Roxy and the
Viper Room.
Buildings of architectural interest
include the Sunset Plaza, designed
by Charles Selkirk in an
assortment
of
Neoclassical,
Regency and Colonial Revival
styles and Piazza del Sol, a stately
Spanish complex built in 1929 and
recently restored to its original
glory. Other well known landmarks
include the Argyle Hotel, Tower
Records, The Comedy Store,
Carney’s and the street’s famous
billboard of the giant Malboro
Man. Sidewalk cafes, fashion
boutiques, bookstores and bars
complete a blend of American and
European styles.

y friend, word on the Croisette is that there is an amazing
number of contenders for the Palme d'’Or, - Japòn, Kedma,
All or Nothing, Bowling for Columbine. I overheard in the
corridor of the Carlton Hotel revered critic Derek Malcolm of The
Guardian newspaper raving about Japon. He was describing the
freshness and sensitivity of first time director Mexican Carlos
Reygadas, particularly in the scene between the 35 year old man and
the 80 year old woman. Malcolm declared before I slipped out of
earshot, that Japòn is his favourite film of the Festival so far.
