Rushes presents straight 8's 2010 Cannes advertising festival screening 'the best of an ad bunch'
Rushes presents straight 8 cannes advertising festival fringe screening - 2010
"the only thing in cannes worth setting an alarm for but set two"
Friday, 25th june 2010 at the Star Cinema, 98 rue d’antibes. Doors open at 11.30am. Screening starting at noon.
The world premiere of 8 awesome films made by folk from Adland ‘the best of an ad bunch’ will play alongside all 8 films from straight 8’s amazing 2010 cannes film festival screening.
Also being screened are the 5 top voted films from the 2010 framepool/lbb online/fireflies inaugural challenge to craft a beautiful piece of work to show the meaning of the word "courage".
Straight 8 (www.straight8.net) - the film event which offers anyone anywhere the chance to make a three minute film using just one cartridge of super 8mm cine film, without re-takes or editing - are back at cannes advertising festival for the 4th consecutive year.
Ed Sayers straight 8 founder: “The rush of seeing your film for the first time, together with a packed audience, is unbelievable. it’s the fastest and slowest 3 mins, 20 secs of your life. Your mind goes into overdrive as the frames you have only seen through a viewfinder now reflect off the silver screen and you hear your original soundtrack together with the film for the first time - all whilst watching with the audience. Straight 8 2011 is already open so that the northern hemisphere can finally film in the sunshine too. Come and get inspired and dare yourself to enter: there and then.”
