Pavillon de l'image
  In 2007 the Cannes Film Festival will celebrate its 60th anniversary.
With the AFC, we are organizing the Pavillon de l'image, an event
dedicated to the art of Cinematography

The ambition of the Pavillon de l'image is to establish a meeting point that will become an important venue at the Cannes Film Festival. Its main goal will be to enhance the art of Cinematography and all related professions and industries.

  • A meeting space devoted to the director of photography's art and especially to its artistic aspects. This is the approach to cinematography that the Pavillon de l'image would like to reveal to festival goers and professionals through debates on current subjects of our trade, workshops, master classes with director-cinematographer couples, tributes to great directors of photography, and others activities. Allow all cinema lovers to discover that cinema is also an exchange between a director and a cinematographer, that the soul of a film can be felt through the images that stems from this encounter.

  • A meeting point for all technical and artistic professionals of the moving image. The Pavillon will bring together all those participating to the making of images :
    Technicians, manufacturers, rental companies, laboratories, visual and special effects specialists, post production companies, exhibitors.

  • An important event at the Cannes Film Festival.
    There is much talk about "the digital revolution" in cinema and this theme closely concerns cinematographers and all related industries.

    •   The Pavillon de l'image is an essential role to play in this phase of technological and artistic evolution, preserving the future quality of films and exploring the new frontiers of imaging. Directors of photography, and the world's film making community are all directly concerned by the way their work is being redefined by the advent of new technologies. The Pavillon also aims to create a debate on this exiting and important matter.

      The Pavillon de l'image wishes to become a showcase for the cultural patrimony of cinematography, promoting dialogue amongst these incredibly talented people and with everyone else concerned by the creation of images : directors, producers, distributors, institutions, the press, agents, technicians, and movie bluffs. Its finds its natural place within a festival whose intent is the promotion of the Seventh Art. Both share the desire to encourage as wide a public as possible to discover the Art of Cinematography, rather than limiting it to the realm of a few specialist initiates.
