CANNES • Continued from Page 202 feature-length and shot subjects, in proportion to its annual film production. Consequently the first and second largest producing countries in the world, the United States and India had four and three feature films respectively entered in the competition. So it is the government of each country which generally has the last word on which films will be selected to represent their national film production. Needless to say, the interests of the large film companies in each country are often well represented in these entries. This year some thirty countries actively participated in the Festival: some 40 films of feature length were presented along with nearly 60 short subjects. Most films were made for normal screen projection, but the United States presented three Cinemascope productions, one English film was shown on a large panoramic screen, and a demonstration of the French process, "Cinepanoramic" i similar to Cinemascope J was made. The problem is now stated. Obviously, if everyone who comes to the Festival < newspapermen, film personalities and technicians, tourists, wouldbe starlets, and the natives of Cannes' is to see all the films, there must be a dailv afternoon and evening show, and for part of the time, a morning show as well. In general each showing includes one feature-length film and two short subjects, or in some cases, two feature films. For those who are at the Festival to see all the films, the routine becomes somewhat tiring on the eyes. Of course this would not be so bothersome if all the films shown were worthy of such a Festival. Unfortunately they are not. On the other hand, of the 3.000 people who attend part of the showings, a too small percentage are interested in seeing the films, or talking too much about cinema. Cannes, with its beautiful beaches, sunshine, night clubs and cafes, draws many off for the day and only in the evening does everybodv come out to see the films, or more precisely, to see their friends, and to be seen. As a result, many film people come to Cannes in the vacation spirit, and combine business with pleasure. One cannot reproach this, if he is willing to admit that the main advantage the Festival offers to the film world is a chance to meet friends one sees only once a year, at Cannes. This is enough in itself. Cannes is thus an international rendezvous, a pleasant vacation spot, and at the same time, for those who are interested, some good discussions may be had about the movies projected in the Festival Hall. The most faithful element of the Festival's audience is the journalist. Since 212
