May holds special significance for cinema lovers around<br />
the world, as it’s the month when glitz and glamour arrive<br />
in a small town in southern France for the Cannes Film<br />
Festival. At the time of going to press, the only film<br />
confirmed for this year’s festival is the opening title,<br />
Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby (see p9 for our own<br />
screenings). The entire industry is waiting with bated<br />
breath to see what else will be included in the line-up.<br />
Will bad-boy Lars von Trier be asked back after he was<br />
booted out for controversial remarks at the Melancholia<br />
press conference? Will any British films be selected for<br />
competition? Are Brad and Angelina getting married<br />
during the festival? For those of us who have the good<br />
fortune to attend, stars and celebrities are not the focus<br />
of the Cannes experience. Forget parties and red carpets;<br />
non-stop film watching is the norm, as we average six<br />
screenings a day. This year, I have the added bonus of<br />
having been selected for the Europa <strong>Cinema</strong>s Label Jury:<br />
I’ll be reporting back daily via Twitter (perhaps a little<br />
blearily) on what I’ve seen.<br />
Before Cannes starts there is a unique film event<br />
happening in our own back yard, as Dundead, Dundee’s<br />
Horror Film Festival, returns for its third year. Over the May<br />
bank holiday weekend we’ve assembled a feast of films<br />
from classics to UK premieres for you to enjoy – if you<br />
dare. We know what scares you.<br />
