The Cannes Film Festival has started with the usual fanfare this year. WLCI reminisces down the memory lane when one of their own students got the prestigious ‘Young Lion’s Creative Competition’. Rohit Damija bagged the impressive ‘Young Lion’s Competition’. Presently he is the ‘Creative Director’ of JWT Delhi. Rohit was grad student from Bangalore WLCI Advertising and Graphics Design campus.
The French Riviera has geared up this year to
host the ‘Festival De Cannes’. Keeping the finger on the pulse of the world
cinema, Cannes this year got ready to feature some of the best films the world
has to offer from many countries around the world. Cannes previews new films of
all genres, including documentaries, from around the world. Founded in 1946, it
is one of the most prestigious and publicized film festivals in the world.
The festival has become an important showcase for European films. Along with other festivals such as Venice and Berlin, Cannes offers an opportunity to determine a particular country's image of its cinema and generally foster the notion that European cinema is "art" cinema.
