Did you know that in addition to Sundance, HP is also the Official Sponsor and ‘Digital Entertainment & Graphic Arts’ Partner at the Cannes Film Festival?

From May 16 through May 27, 2007, the most famous, luxurious, and prestigious film festival in the world celebrates its 60^th anniversary unlike any other. And HP is stationed on la croissette to bring you every barrage of flashbulbs as the hottest stars, directors, and producers walk down the red carpet …

plus, perhaps, a few faces that are familiar inside the halls of HP:

(That is Vyomesh Joshi – VJ— Executive Vice President of HP’s Imaging and Printing Group in the middle of the HP pack on the red carpet.)

According to our colleague Jenny Amanquah-Sauter (who is burning up the keyboard for HP’s Tales from Cannes), “HP has printed the iconic banners decorating the Palais des Festivals and turned the surrounding streets into a series of outdoor galleries, featuring digitally restored photographs of the stars who have graced the red carpet at the Festival since it began. The photos are part of a special exhibition organized to mark the 60th Festival.”

And.. “We’ve also redesigned the Cannes Film Festival website to create an intuitive, indispensable guide to all the films and news.”

Not a bad gig, if you can get it!

If you’re like us and are stuck in North America (or elsewhere) whilst the stars shine in the south of France, be sure to visit HP’s Tales from Cannes to get your daily dish.
