Heavy sea and Icelandic #volcano, the #Cannes #Festival of bad luck #Riviera #France

 
Repairs to Cannes and its famous Hotel Martinez May 5, 2010, after a day of storm that caused extensive damage.

After preparations delayed by the massive waves that struck the Riviera coast Tuesday, the organizers of the Film Festival are now staring at the cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland again disrupting air traffic.

The Eyjafjöll volcano, whose eruption had paralyzed the European skies for several days in April, will he play spoilsport on the Croisette, the red carpet treatment from Wednesday?

Saturday, the cloud is back in southern Europe. But all French airports remained open and flight cancellations were mainly due to the low-cost airlines, Ryanair and easyJet to Marseille to Nice.

"I see that everyone wants to invite each other in Cannes, even the cloud," jokes the Deputy Mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard. "More seriously, the things we have are rather very reassuring".

"We can not continuously fed fears," he adds, referring to concerns that followed the heavy sea on the ability of the festival organizers to be ready in time.

Saving the Palm trees in Nice #Riviera #France #Nature #Tourism

 
Nice has yet no palm infested, unlike many coastal communities as Antibes (56 cases), Vallauris (2) or Biot (1).

If 10000 Nice palms seem for the time saved by the larvae of red palm weevil, the threat is approaching. La Ville a présenté vendredi les objectifs d'un comité chargé de cette question environnementale. The City has presented Friday objectives of a committee of this environmental issue.

What has six legs, two antennae, a small snout and a body three inches long, red-orange with black spots on the chest? Is the red palm weevil.  A nasty bug originally from Papua New Guinea, where children are told, are enjoying his big yellow larvae.

#Cannes #Film #Festival : In search of beauty at Cannes Directors' Fortnight

 

In search of beauty at Cannes Directors' Fortnight

Gust van der Berghe Rosslyn Hyams/RFI

By Rosslyn Hyams

It’s not the sort of thing that happens every day of the week. Imagine. You make your first feature film and it’s included in a selection at one of the most famous of all international film festivals. That’s exactly the sort of thing that happens thanks at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs which runs parallel to the main Cannes Film Festival in May.

The Director’s Fortnight, as it's also known in English is the brainchild of the French Film Directors' Guild - the SRF.

Vallauris: Visual Exhibition of War Was Forced to Close #Art #Riviera #Algeria #France

Vallauris: exhibition closed after complaints from harkis (Collaborators with French Occupation Forces in Algeria)

A company of harkis passes the gallery in Algiers May 8, 1957 during the military parade commemorating the end of the Second World War.

The exhibition of visual artist Sedira Museum Pablo Picasso: War and Peace in Vallauris (Alpes-Maritimes), was closed by the city due to complaints Association harkis.

A mediation sub-prefect of Grasse, Claude Serra, could be reopened "fast" the retrospective of this internationally recognized artist, according to museum management.

The town of Vallauris might instead refuse to provide security.

The City would not provide security

As a national museum, the institution is placed under the guardianship of the state, but the city is responsible for opening the Convention and monitoring of spaces.
Asked by Nice-Matin, the mayor of Vallauris Gumiel Alain said Tuesday that the City would not ensure that mission.
A video presented by the Franco-Algerian artist, consisting of an interview in Arabic on her mother's memories of the war Algeria, angered former supporters of French Algeria, because the word "harki" it was translated by the word "collaborator".
