Things are winding down in Cannes in some respects. A lot of people have left and others are getting ready to leave. My feet left me days ago because they could not take it anymore. I feel like I am walking on stumps (ouch). The lifts on my heels are stubs and are making that clacking noise (you know that click clack sound). Anyway, enough about my feet.
I skipped the screenings today because I needed some time just to chill and contemplate all that has happened these past 10 days. I stopped by the Carleton lounge to surf the Internet, sat next to Ivana while she was being interviewed and met a nice person from Chicago who stumbled upon the festival. She just arrived last night and had no idea what the festival is like and said it was her first time In southern France even though she travels to Paris a couple times a year. The other most amazing thing is that she is staying at the Carleton and I am at the Croisette Beach next door and our balconies are right across from each other. We figured that out from the view that we each have from our balcony. We also talked about how much we love France and our perspective is exactly the same. What a small world we live in.
Tomorrow the festival winners will be announced and the closing ceremony will take place. Last year I met the winner of the Camera D'Or, Michael Rowe from Mexico. I wonder what this one will bring.
