Scenes from the Gutter
June 28, 2008
No CF report is complete without some scenes from the one place where its all happening. The Gutter Bar is as always the place to find the last refuge after a busy day and where everyone happily pays 10 euros for a bottle of beer. Sometimes we hope that no-one remembers what happened but thanks to the Fringe team nobody is safe. We even found another lions winer. Well I guess the gutter is as good as any place to celebrate. Nice one..
Check it out and yes… Viva Africa ???

CF at the Werbeweischer Party
June 24, 2008
Cannes Fringe got exclusive access to the Werbeweischer Party again and spoke to the man himself Florian Weischer about Cannes 08 and the success of the German ad industry.
Speaking of German success we also happen to see the German football team do one over Ronaldo and his mates… 
Nice. Someone also tells us why the Germans are not only good a building cars and also have a sense of humor. Not so sure about that one.. Hell I am German but when it comes to funny ads you got to hand it to the British. But I take football anytime.
Check it out….
Fireflies arrive in Cannes 2008
June 23, 2008
Once again the mighty Fireflies did it again.
This time it was over 70 riders. What started with a handful of people 8 years ago has turned into an amazing event. So far they raised over £ 600,000 for Leuka. All the money goes straight into Leukaemia and cancer research and every single rider has to give it everything to make it over these mountains. Cannes Fringe as always has brought you daily films of the trip and we hope that once you see these films it will only encourage you to go and donate as much as you can yourself.

Well done Fireflies.
