cannes film festival

It’s from the Cannes Film Festival, it’s subtitled in French (the spoken word is English), and this newest Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie trailer that is just over 1 minute, has mostly the same material we’ve seen before.  Except that we now have glimpses of John Malkovich and Patrick Dempsey from this version.  Note the word… glimpses!  Enjoy!

The other night I was invited to check out a mini film festival of sorts in Downtown San Jose.

There was a compilation of short shorts (films, not clothing people!), & short films. The event took around 45 minutes in all and I came away from the event with my emotions fully engaged.  It was a well spent 45 minutes, indeed.

David J. Bettencourt, the producer of Raton, said that Raton won Best Picture in it’s competition and by so doing, they were invited (again) to participate in the International Film Shootout competing against independent film crews from all over the globe. The winner will receive a showing slot at the Cannes Film Festival next year!

“Our entire crew is composed of local film makers that have studied all over the Bay Area but primarily at DeAnza Community College. The efforts put forth in this “micro” film movement has garnered the attention of the Metro Magazine which resulted in this week’s massive front page spread.”  (See Metro Magazine link for the full article.)

And you know I’m supporting the local gang to go all the way!
