Some of you might have seen by now the posts from my little Cannes experience these past days. I am back home, back in reality, one could actually say.

Here is now a little more background info on the whole trip. In my previous posts you might have seen me dropping the name of Jaques d’Azur, the so called King of Cannes. While the King of Cannes seems to have disappeared a search for the heir started. I dont want to take away too much about the whole story, and suggest that you start googling and facebooking a little, because the search on who this infamous Jaques d’Azur is, is actually quite fun.

Below is a video on the heir that made it to the film festival this year to take the place of Jaques d’Azur.

The Cannes Film Festival 2010 journey continues. After arriving earlier yesterday and hanging at the Mansion of Jaques d’Azur, we ended up going to the film premier of a Russian movie last night.

Arriving at the red carpet of the film festival was stunning. I can safely say that I have never seen that many photographers in one spot and certainly not with me right in the middle of it. Obviously they realized pretty quickly that I was no big shot, which I was very happy about, because I could just walk through. Check out the images to get a slight idea of this chaos.

When getting into the festival center, you came across lots of Tim Burton artwork decorating the venue. It was work of his from the last 20 or so years and was actually a nice touch.

I have to admit, the fact that it was Russian took away a little excitement before, but the movie actually made up for all of it. The movie was basically about WWII and it was very long, but the cinematography was just incredible and very impressive. The images in the film, the music, it was all beautiful and also very heavy on a emotional level. I was very happy to have seen it, as it is not the movie one would usually go see or rent out.

After that we went back to the hotel, chilled out a little and then ended up going to VIP Room, a club that sets up shop temporary in Cannes every year during the film festival. Mary J. Blige sang some songs live with the DJ and the place was just overall unreal. Its the type of celebrity over-infused club that you can only take every once in a while and also not for too long. But I have to say, it was more than fitting the overall Cannes experience and if you only take it half serious, its actually fun for a night.

I just arrived in Cannes today. Even though the job brings long hours with itself, 7 day weeks, there is always some fun in it as well. After all the crappy weather that we had so far this year, this seems like a real treat. Currently the Cannes Film Festival is going on and we are invited to check out some previews of films to come to cinemas soon, party a little and more. It will definitely be an experience.

I just got to the hotel and its set in a beautiful natural scenery just outside Cannes. Super calm, which I actually enjoy, as the craziness around the festival will start later this evening.

Here some first impressions with more to follow through out the weekend!

Of course we did not only go to Stockholm for panel discussions and art, Absolut also treated us along with 900 other invites to a Halloween Party. As you can imagine, Absolut knows how to through a party. They built a huge black cube next to the Lydmar Hotel and used both the hotel and the cube for the party. DJ’s and live music were in place, along with a bit!!! of vodka.

I was unfortunately too busy partying to take pictures, thanks to Notcot for providing them.

Just got to Berlin this evening. On Tuesday we are throwing a party together with Nike, so you can expect a follow up post on that!

Its evening here, nothing fantastic to take a pic of around me, so I show yo the latest Evan Hecox Print, entitled “Berlin Tower Print” – thought this was a good match!
