사진으로: 한 사진작가의 카메라로 본 40년 칸 영화제

Eric Gaillard가 1981년 처음으로 칸 영화제를 촬영하러 갔을 때, 그것은 더 작고 친밀한 일이었습니다.

로렌 바콜이나 에바 가드너와 같은 할리우드 황금기의 거장들이 산책로를 혼자 거닐거나 경호원 없이 해변에서 노는 모습을 볼 수 있는 그런 곳이었습니다.

40번째로 돌아온 Mr Gaillard는 다른 야수를 발견했습니다. 더 크고 더 다문화적이며 사진가들이 바이럴 스냅을 얻기 위해 서 있을 수 있는 위치에 더 많은 제한이 있거나 무방비 상태에서 친밀한 미소를 공유하는 영화 배우가 포착되는 순간을 캡처할 수 있습니다. , 멍청한 포즈를 취하거나 머리가 좋지 않은 날.

5월 16일부터 5월 27일까지 열리는 제76회 칸영화제에서는 영화를 보고, 유명인사들과 어깨를 나란히 하고, 어떤 경우에는 탐나는 황금종려상을 놓고 경쟁하기 위해 칸의 평소 인구가 230,000명으로 3배 증가했습니다.
이 페스티벌을 마치고 은퇴하는 Gaillard는 로이터 통신을 위해 거기에 있었고 건방진 미소로 카메라를 가리키는 Michael Douglas와 명예 황금종려상을 받는 어울리는 Harrison Ford를 찍었습니다.

1997년 마이클 잭슨이 참석했을 때, 2008년 디에고 마라도나가 축구 트릭을 선보였을 때, 2018년 크리스틴 스튜어트가 레드카펫에서 그녀의 발뒤꿈치를 걷어찼을 때 그는 그곳에 있었다.

1995년 48회 페스티벌의 한 장면은 무장 해제된 젊은 조니 뎁을 보여주고, 1987년의 흑백 사진은 검게 그을리고 보석으로 장식한 리즈 테일러와 한때 불꽃 조지 해밀턴을 묘사합니다.

더 최근의 사진은 마스크를 쓴 영화 관람객(2020년 코로나19 팬데믹으로 인해 축제가 취소되었으나 이듬해 제한 조치로 다시 돌아옴), 사진작가의 팔랑크스 중 여성의 수가 증가하고 참석자가 휴대전화를 사용하여 자신의 소셜 미디어 게시물을 작성하는 모습을 보여줍니다. .
그러나 스타나 언론인을 위한 행사의 본질적인 화려함과 매혹은 변하지 않았습니다. Gaillard는 칸이 “놀라운 경험”이라고 말했습니다.

When Eric Gaillard first went to photograph the Cannes Film Festival in 1981, it was a smaller, more intimate affair.

It was the kind of place where you could see the greats from Hollywood’s Golden Age like Lauren Bacall or Ava Gardner wandering alone on the esplanade or having fun on the beach without bodyguards.

Returning for his 40th time,  Mr Gaillard found a different beast — larger, more multicultural, with more restrictions on where photographers could stand to try and get that viral snap or capture the moment when a movie star gets caught off-guard sharing an intimate smile, striking a goofy pose, or having a bad hair day.

The 76th edition of the festival, taking place from May 16 to May 27, has seen Cannes’ usual population triple to 230,000 people to watch films, rub shoulders with celebrities and — in some cases — compete for the coveted Palme D’Or.

Gaillard, who is retiring after this festival, was there for Reuters, snapping Michael Douglas pointing at the camera with a cheeky grin and a besuited Harrison Ford receiving an Honorary Palme D’Or.

More recent photos show cinemagoers wearing masks (the festival was cancelled in 2020 because of the COVID pandemic but came back the following year with restrictions), increasing numbers of women among the phalanxes of photographers, and attendees using phones to create their own social media posts.

But the essential glamour and fascination of the occasion has not changed — for the stars, or for the journalists. Mr Gaillard said Cannes is “an incredible experience.”
