Buenos Aires — In what may prove a prototype for more ventures around the globe, Cannes topper Thierry Fremaux will program and present the first Cannes Festival Film Week in Buenos Aires with Michel Hazanavicius (“The Artist,” “The Search”) and Berenice Bejo in attendance.
The Semana de Cine del Festival de Cannes, as it is called in Spanish, runs Dec. 1-7.
But the Cannes Festival may not now stop at Buenos Aires, or Bucharest, where a similar event has taken place since 2010.
“We have projects to bring films all over the world. Cristian Mungiu is already organizing a showcase in Bucharest. It’s not so important for us as for the films,” Fremaux said, explaining that the Cannes Festival Film Week was not an attempt to launch a second Cannes Festival outside France.
But Cannes was “looking at territories where it would be beneficial to have a Cannes presence,” Fremaux added.
