Cannes | "No white socks"

From the archives of Filmmaker Mag is this view of Cannes via Richard Press, who was there in 2006 for L'Atelier project, "Virtual Love."
A week before I leave for Cannes to participate in L’Atelier du Festival, the co-production market of the Cannes Film Festival, I receive an e-mail from the festival reminding me to bring my black tie; without it I will not be allowed to ascend the Red Carpet for the competition screenings. Then, as an aside — a whisper of the protocol to come — they add, “And don’t wear white socks.”
