<\/a>Last year three people armed with a projector and a van brought new meaning to the term ‘guerrilla cinema’ when they screened films at Cannes from their van. <\/span><\/p>\n This year they are back and their aim is to give exposure to lesser known films and filmmakers whilst out in Cannes.<\/p>\n As they put it<\/a>:<\/p>\n Every film has a creator who is undeniably committed to what they are doing, committed to their obsession.<\/p>\n Maybe their goal is to make a personal film about something close to their heart, maybe they have a bigger picture, maybe their career is in film.<\/p>\n One thing is for sure – some of them you will know about in 10 years, some will win Oscars, Baftas, international awards. Some will change the publics’ consciousness.<\/p>\n Our aim is to give these films exposure. Where that exposure takes them is an unknown quantity, but it may just help them on their way.<\/p>\n We screen the best selection of short-films from the cream of independent filmmaking to a receptive, captive audience.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The crew this year consists of Andy, Cath, Stuart and Janus and you can follow their exploits at their blog<\/a> or podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check out this London Tonight<\/a> report from last year’s festival:<\/p>\n
