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.

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.

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.
