This review is from: Cannes: A Festival Virgin's Guide--Attending the Cannes Film Festival for Filmmakers and Film Industry Professionals (Paperback)
When you first get to go to Cannes, is all about researching and preparing your film. Cannes is a very complex festival and I was lucky enough to get in touch with a filmmaker that previously had gotten to assist with her film. Part of her advise was to buy and read this book. I really liked how detailed it was, while down to earth. The writer communicates with the reader, first as a traveler, then lists the possible areas you would like to focus on while at the festival. It also gave me ideas of things I haven't considered before, which was really good. Now, while helpful and handy, it shouldn't be the only source of researching for Cannes, but only a summary of the highlights.
