"What a start to the first week of the 69th Cannes Festival! There is so much to see that you could easily stay up 24/24! Unfortunately, in order to keep up with the tempo of this mad marathon, you do need some sleep. I work for the agency France Press, so I have first row access to the red carpet that sees a constant stream of stars parading all over it, night after night. The second stop is the famous “Photocall”, where all the actors make a brief appearance to have their photographs taken in front of the “wall of photographers”. This is where I caught this shot of Woody Allen, here to present his latest film “Café Society”. I also love sauntering along the “Croisette” where you get to see the most surprising things and people!! This is the magic of the Festival!"
