How to survive Cannes

The Screenplay Europe blog mentions a fantastic resource for anyone considering diving into the frenzied waters of the Cannes Film Festival for the first time.

Called Cannes - A Virgin's Survival Guide, it contains a lot of the information from the book of the same name. It's full of useful tips about the festival and practical advice about how to cope with the 11-day event.

Those of you in London, who are contemplating Cannes this year, can attend the Cannes Survival Seminar, hosted by Benjamin Craig (author of the book) at Ealing Studios on Tuesday, 20 March. It costs £15, but that includes a copy of the freshly-minted 5th edition of the guide book.
