for our 9th consecutive year at cannes we're moving up in the world to the prestigious UK film centre

it's a beautiful beach-front pavillion in the heart of the international village and the home of the british film industry in cannes

it's an incredible place to see your film and to have it seen

on the evening of may 18th the cream of the 2011 straight 8 crop will be seen for the first time ever
you could be there, rose in hand, with an rapt audience cheering you on as you see your film for the first time since you looked through the viewfinder and pulled the trigger
