The Screening Room

SHOW #27

Cannes

This month, Myleene Klass heads to the Promenade de la Croisette for the Cannes Film Festival. Penelope Cruz , Ang Lee, Catherine Deneuve, Brad Pitt, Quentin Tarantino and football legend Eric Cantona are due to walk up the steps of the Palais. Competition for the Palmes D'Or will be as fierce as ever, but it's the battle to beat the credit crunch that will be troubling most of the industry. Revelry on the Riviera is set to be lower key this year with movie makers tightening their designer belts. The programme investigates just how badly the downturn will dent trade and speaks with Hollywood billion dollar producers and first timers who are all at the worlds biggest film market to sell their movies.
