- Hi Charlotte, have you been following the Cannes Festival this year? - You know me, Olivier! I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. Ever since I was a child, the film industry and film stars have been two of my greatest passions. I've always loved discovering new films with young and up-and-coming talents or more established actors. The way [that] directors manage to tell stories with so much creativity has always fascinated me. I would also like for more people to recognise the beauty of the silver screen. - Why is the Cannes Festival so unique to you? - I think it's a magnificent location with a glamorous atmosphere as well as a festival which celebrates all filmmakers, already acclaimed or emerging. I would love to have the chance to attend [lit: there] one day. - You could work as a journalist in order to cover the event. - If I managed to get accreditation to this festival, I would consider it [as] the most beautiful accomplishment of my life.

Clever stuff happening!
