Let\u2019s hope that Internet users everywhere might drop their games and be tempted to rush to their nearest theatre to find out what happens next.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hope so, for the sake of the artists. We make no distinction between their films.<\/p>\n<p>They are all there, somewhere, in the atmosphere that surrounds us all. They are all there and available, chemically, digitally, electronically, in binary, in VOD, virtually, we can feel them, they surround us. They are looking out for us.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not abandon them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.festival-cannes.com\/en\/festivalsEditorial\/list.html\">the full speech here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.festival-cannes.com\/\">Official site for the Cannes Film Festival<\/a><br \/>\n&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/article\/cannes_president_gilles_jacob_how_do_you_know_when_an_era_is_finished_and_a\/\">IndieWIRE with a transcript of Cannes president Gillies Jacob at the launch press conference<\/a>\u00a0<br \/>\n&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cannes_Film_Festival\">Find out more about the festival<\/a> at Wikipedia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The official lineup for the 2009 Cannes Film Festival was announced today at a press conference in Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,20,2],"tags":[930,2800],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5418"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5418\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
