It’s early May, so it is almost time for everyone to head to the south of France for the 71st edition of the Festival de Cannes. And the International Cinephile Society, in their 9th year on the Croisette, will have a large presence at the festival once again. Bringing you coverage from competition to sidebars and from Quinzaine to Semaine, our contributors this year are:
Cédric Succivalli (@OnTheCroisette) – Paris, France / Rome, Italy – President, International Cinephile Society
Tommaso Tocci (@Cinelais) – Rome, Italy – Film critic, freelance
Marc van de Klashorst (@MarcVDKlashorst) – Utrecht, The Netherlands – Contributor, International Cinephile Society
Aldo Álvareztostado (@alvareztostado) – Guadalajara, Mexico – Contributor, International Cinephile Society
David Acacia (@to_the_lightbox) – Toronto, Canada – Contributor, International Cinephile Society
Becoming somewhat of a tradition, of course our ICS Critics grid will make its return, with even more people grading every film they see in all sections of the festival (and that includes ACID this year, for the adventurous souls).
