Cannes in a Van - The Documentary Trailer

Three blokes, a projector and one big old 'pimped-up' Transit van, take on the big guns at Cannes 2007 in a new approach to guerilla cinema.

Meet Andy, Si & Jamie - they have a dream. A dream to take some of the most vibrant, intelligent and independent films, to the glitziest film festival in Europe and screen them from the back of a van. The biggest film festival in the world meets the smallest film festival in the world.

In a year where there were no British films in competition at Cannes, Cannes in a Van bought their very own unofficial British selection instead.
"Cannes in a Van" documents their trials and tribulations in making that dream come true. From the lead up, the technical difficulties on opening night, the chaos of the night of departure, driving through France for a total of 26 hours, to the overwhelming success of their nightly screenings. Meet the mental Troma team as they self-publicise their new film "Poultrygeist" in the true spirit of guerilla film making, and watch the boys meet film makers from L.A., New York, France, Britain, Italy, all pitching, hustling and screening their films at Cannes & in Cannes in a Van. Featuring a cast of chicken zombies, vomiting French cinephiles, pimps & hos, eco-warrior heroes, the ubiquitous Cannes boat party, Italian American toy boy actors, a ninja and the odd British wannabe film maker. Filmed, Directed & Edited by Sharron Ward.
