“The secret of Cannes, I learned, is that the biggest barrier isn’t getting...”
– I will not be attending Cannes again, though I considered it, for the reason above and a few others I elucidate (sketch?) in my “report” from the fest just published in the second issue of N1FR. You can read it here. You can read a list of contributions here and editor Scott...
