Cannes Film Festival and the Web
I have been to the Film Festival in Cannes last week: sun, great movies and stars!
I’ve been really amazed by the increasing links there are between those kind of happenings and the web usages.
Appart from of course the real-time information and images broadcasting of the event itself - you can also see extracts from selected movies - two main trends are to be highlited:
- MySpace sponsored one of the beach in partnsership with Smiley: a very nice space with a stage, where artists, actors, producers could meet and some events like movie projection or music concerts were displayed. The atmosphere and events were also relayed on the web.
- I have met a lot of producers and directors who had planned physical meetings in Cannes through networks like aSmallWorld and.. really met and had instersting and very professional meetings!
The 60th Cannes Film Festival has really been a proof that social networking is really becoming an efficient business media, at least in certain industries..
