Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby kicks off almost a fortnight of cinephilic heaven on Wednesday, as the Cannes Film Festival starts its 66th edition at the Palais du Festival. And of course the ICS is present! In fact, this year our presence is stronger than ever, with no less than four members planning to cover as much cinematic ground as possible, and even a fifth one (Eren Odabasi) in one of the juries of this year’s Critics’ Week.

Reporting for you from the Croisette this year are Dave Acacia, Erik Anderson, Marc van de Klashorst (@MarcVDKlashorst), and of course our president, Cédric Succivalli (@OnTheCroisette). Check this site, our official Twitter account (@ICSfilm) and our Facebook page for daily reviews, and the personal Twitter accounts for some of our gut reactions. Whereas in previous years we focused mainly on the films in competition, this year we plan to give more attention to the various sidebars as well. And we promise we’ll stay away from corny article titles like this.
