Travel Haiku - Cannes Film Festival (French Riveria) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Cannes Film Festival
I walk around to enjoy
the different accented english

Cannes Film Festival
an Asian actress's
staccato english

Cannes Film Festival
flowing like the French Riveria
starlets and celluloids

putting more fun
and depths into celluloids
Cannes Film Festival

celluloids and stars
lit up French Riveria
Cannes Film Festival

One of the world's oldest, most influential, and prestigious film festivals, this year's Cannes is held from May 14 to 25. Known for extravagant celebrity-filled yacht parties and the hordes of beautiful people who descend on the French Riviera resort, Cannes is also renowned for debuting new talent and showcasing new work by industry veterans. Twenty entries will compete for the prestigious Palme d'Or, the highest prize awarded at the festival. Previous winners of the Palme d'Or include Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now, and Taxi Driver.
