Walter Salles talks about 'On The Road' being selected for Cannes
It's official! On the Road was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2012! Walter Salles talks about the selection:
"On
the Road" is a project for which a group of people, many of them from
the family of 'Motorcycle Diaries', devoted seven years of their lives.
The fact that the film was selected in the Main Exhibition Cannes Film
Festival is a prize for young actors and technicians who gave so much to
the film. We run over 100 000 kms to film it, and this gives an idea of
adventure which we live. On the Road exists only because of the passion
we all had the book Kerouac, the behavioral revolution that he
unleashed. And also, the courageous action of independent producers and
distributors who, led by MK2 and associated Zoetrope, the film became a
reality, "
The production company American Zoetrope, San
Francisco, began to idealize the project for more than 30 years and held
an unprecedented partnership with the French production company MK2,
which acquired the direct. In Brazil, the film will be released on June
15, with distribution Playarte.
This profile will be in
Cannes and will cover the entire festival, from the point of view within
the team and cast of On the Road. Time to pack!
