ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A hilarious mockumentary on the Cannes Film Festival and the filmmaking culture. Featuring Anouk Aimee (8 ½, A MAN AND A WOMAN, LOLA) as an actress-turned-director desperate to make her first film, she must fight for her funding against aging starlets, big producers, and ex-boyfriends. The Los Angeles Times calls FESTIVAL IN CANNES, "A giddy comic fantasy, full of romance, chicanery and beguiling, sophisticated players."

SYNOPSIS

Cannes, 1999. Alice, an actress, wants to direct an indie picture. Kaz, a talkative (and maybe bogus) deal maker, promises $3 million if she’ll use Millie, an aging French star. But, Rick, a big producer, needs Millie for a small part in a fall movie or he loses his star, Tom Hanks.
