The 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival unfolds from May 13 to May 24, 2025
in the picturesque city of Cannes, located on the sunny French Riviera. The main events will take place at the iconic Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, where filmmakers, industry insiders, actors, and media from around the globe gather for nearly two weeks of cinematic brilliance.
••••Cinema gives Cannes its reason for being, but it is celebrity that keeps it going. Now in its 78th year, the festival has survived assorted bumps, including television, the transition to digital and World War II, which led to the cancellation of the inaugural edition, in 1939. When it got underway in 1946, its slate included Jean Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast." A quotation from Cocteau on the festival website asserts that Cannes is "an apolitical no man's land, a microcosm of what the world would be like if people could make direct contact with one another and speak the same language." The apolitical part has never really existed, as the event's history of protests and policing show.
•••• Cannes Film Festival 2025 is set to dazzle the world once again, bringing together global cinema's finest talents, breathtaking premieres, and unforgettable red carpet moments. As one of the most prestigious film festivals globally, Cannes continues to be the ultimate celebration of art, creativity, and cinematic excellence.
••••Founded in 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has grown to become the ultimate platform for celebrating international cinema. From legendary directors to emerging talents making their mark, Cannes has always been a launchpad for careers and cinematic revolutions.
••••The coveted Palme d'Or, the festival's highest honor, is awarded to the best film in the official competition. Past winners have gone on to achieve global acclaim, making Cannes a barometer for the films that will dominate awards season worldwide.

115- Springtime in Cannes
By Josie Cory
A h h h . . . Spring in Cannes…where mild breezes blow as the warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this beautiful spot on the Cote d'Azur. There you can feel a timeless sensuality, assuaging a nostalgia for the Mediterranean which since as far back as the 16th century has been a constant theme in many a Northern European's life.
• • "Now give us lands where the olives grow," Cried the North to the South, "Where the sun with a golden mouth can blow blue bubbles of grapes down the vineyard row!" Cried the North to the South. (to borrow a phrase from the English writer Elizabeth Barret Browning).
• •"Cannes," wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable and erudite historian of maritime Provence, in 1880, "is a town where you feel no need to work," and "where the inhabitants were not interested in the world that lay beyond their shady gardens, or the sheltered balconies of their hotels."
• • Now the world has come to Cannes, chosen it to be their Mediterranean queen for its annual events, and when you stroll along the Croisette on some warm April day you will hardly share Mr. Lenteric's sentiments. Voila! Cannes! It has emerged truly cosmopolitan.
///

115- CANNES remains the jewel among festival towns
•••• Cannes is host to the annual Festival de Cannes, as well as MIDEM, MIP TV and MICOM (Marché International des Programmes de Communication, owned and organized by Reed MIDEM). It's been 39 years since TVI under Cory's ownership first covered MIPCOM in 1987.
•••• Although Cannes has remained the quintessential market place, despite enormous changes in the cinema, television and social media landscape, it was more casual back in 1987, of course. You could hang out with studio executives without much planning or go see a performer in his hotel room and spend the afternoon in discussing the latest video. There was no "French day," the interview period now set aside so French journalists can get their stories before everyone else.
•••• And many things were simpler. Though it sounds paradoxical, even getting stories back to my TVI Magazine -- it was less time-consuming in that pre-computer age. The festival headquarters had a room where telex operators who spoke not a word of English -- took your typewritten copy, grunted something unintelligible and transmitted it to the U.S. without a hitch.
•••• Since then, Cannes has only gotten bigger. Though we now live in an age when films can be viewed via links and streamed on computers anywhere in the world, the number of journalists covering the 4-day affair has multiplied.
•••• Cannes got off the ground after World War II with the Cannes Film Festival, and followed by tv markets MIPTV and VIDCOM, later MIPCOM when the market festival also responded to the advent of home video technology, including VCRs, DVDs and Blu-ray. As those new formats drove interest in older films and tv series and both French and American distributors wanted a platform to publicize their plans to re-release classics.
•••• Cannes is not just a festival that screens rarefied films. It also hosts a major market, known officially as the Marche du Film (established in 1959) held annually in conjunction with the Festival de Cannes, where about 4,000 films are shown to buyers from more than 100 countries. Here, deals are cut to bring movies to theaters in countries around the world or to release them on video or in digital formats.
•••• This kind of willingness and ability to literally pay the price to keep the festival relevant is a through-line in Cannes' response to challenges. The event's annual budget is a staggering 20 million euros, roughly $26 million, and half of that comes from governmental tax funds. The French public considers film to be part of its cultural patrimony and is quite willing to foot the bill to be the best.
•••• Part of that money goes to making the city as pleasant as it can be for festival visitors. Two months before the event begins, flowers get planted so they will bloom on schedule. One of the treats of getting to Cannes early is watching enormous cranes place huge, blossom-filled concrete planters into strategic positions along the Riviera.
•••• Given how easy it is to see films these days without leaving your room, why do people continue to spend such considerable time, energy and money to go to Cannes?
•••• Because, despite the billions of dollars involved, the movie and television business remains a personal one, where relationships count and seeing people face to face from time to time is essential. Cannes has made sure that there's no place better to do that than Cannes. What was true in 1946 is still true today: Everyone goes to Cannes because everyone else is there. No other place can make that claim, not even not even close.

Leo XIV elected as the first American Pope - (TVI Magazine)
Rome, May 9, 2025 -- Pope Leo XIV celebrates his first Mass today, Friday after his historic election as the first North American pope, meeting with the cardinals who chose him to lead the Catholic Church and follow in Pope Francis' footsteps.
•••••••The Chicago-born Augustinian missionary Robert Prevost surprised the world Thursday when he emerged on the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica, as the first American Pope.
••••••• Born in Chicago in 1955 to parents of Spanish and Franco-Italian descent, he grew up in a parish on Chicago's South side in suburban Dolton. Prevost served as an altar boy and was ordained as a priest in 1982. Although he moved to Peru three years later he returned regularly to the US to serve as a pastor and a prior in his home city.
••••••• Since arriving in Rome, Prevost had kept a low public profile but Francis tapped him to be head of the Vatican's powerful Dicastery for Bishops, which vets bishop nominations around the world.
••••••• Vatican watchers said Prevost's decision to name himself Leo was particularly significant, suggesting continuity with some of Francis' chief concerns: Brother Leo was the 13th century friar who was a great companion to St. Francis of Assisi, the late pope's namesake. Leo has also cited one of Francis' key priorities of making the Catholic Church more attentive to lay people and inclusive.
••••••• The First Words Pope Leo XIV spoke to the faithful from the Basilica of Saint Peter after his election were - 'Peace be with you!'
••••••• Dearest brothers and sisters, this was the first greeting of the risen Christ, the good shepherd who gave His life for the flock of God. I, too, would like this greeting of peace to enter your hearts, to reach your families and all people, wherever they are; and all the peoples, and all the earth: Peace be with you

Pope Francis (1936-2025)

Pope Francis has passed away - By Josie Cory - TVI Magazine
ROME - April 21, 2025 - Pope Francis died on Easter Monday at the age of 88 in Rome's Vatican City. The Argentine pontiff, history's first from Latin America, presided over the Catholic Church for more than 12 years, since March 13, 2013.
•••• He was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 17 December 1936 - the eldest of five children. His parents had fled their native Italy to escape the evils of fascism.
••••• The death of Francis was announced by Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Irish-born Vatican camerlengo, a position that will be decisive in the coming weeks as he takes charge of the administration of the Holy See until a new pope is elected.
•••• "At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father," Farrell said. "His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church."
•••• The pontiff died in the Vatican's Domus Santa Marta, where he returned after his long hospitalization. Pope Francis who suffered from chronic lung disease and had part of one lung removed as a young man, was admitted to Gemelli hospital in Rome on Feb. 14, 2025, for a respiratory crisis that developed into double pneumonia.
•••• Francis made his final public appearance as head of the Catholic Church on Easter Sunday, though he had delegated the celebration of the Easter Mass to another cardinal.
•••• He blessed a crowd of faithful from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica. "Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter," he said from the same loggia where Jorge Mario Bergoglio was introduced to the world as the 266th pope.
•••• Pope Frances met briefly with U.S. Vice President JD Vance.
•••• "I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill," Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, said on Monday during a visit to India.
•••• As Pope and spiritual leader he made great efforts to heal the thousand-year rift with the Eastern Orthodox Church. For the first time since the Great Schism of 1054, the Patriarch of Constantinople attended the installation of a new Bishop of Rome.
•••• Pope Francis also worked with Anglicans, Lutherans and Methodists and persuaded the Israeli and Palestinian presidents to join him to pray for peace by bringing together the Israeli President, Shimon Peres, and his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmoud Abbas, to pray for peace in 2014.
•••• He will be remembered for his social and economic issues, efforts to modernise the church, his advocacy for the marginalized and environmental causes and was known for his great humility and also humor.
•••• Pope Francis' Funeral will take place Saturday, April 26th at 10:00 a.m. and laying in state for public viewing in St. Peter's Basilica starting Wednesday ahead of Saturday's funeral.

• Hollywood stars who snubbed the Academy Awards
There have only been three people that refused the awards, actors George C. Scott and Marlon Brandon and screen writer Dudly Nichols.
Not everyone in Hollywood enjoys the gala event. Over the years, a handful of Hollywood A-listers have refused to attend the ceremony, and some who've sidestepped the show did so when they were up for awards of their own.

A Child in Berlin: The Poignant Story of Heidi Posnien and Her Mother Durig the Fall of Germany
A Survivor of Berlin's WWII Atrocities Embodies Childhood Resilience
OGDEN, Utah, March 15, 2025 -- Heidi Posnien, now 88, enjoys a peaceful life in a farmhouse overlooking a lake -- worlds apart from her childhood in Nazi-occupied Germany, where she and her mother survived unimaginable circumstances. Despite the immense hardships she has endured in her lifetime, including outliving her husband and children, Posnien chooses gratitude for simple abundance, freedom and safety.
••• Posnien shared her strikingly clear memories with professional biographer Rhonda Lauritzen, recalling in vivid detail the fear and uncertainty that permeated Nazi-infested Berlin during World War II; memories of her mother, Käthe, a rising star in Germany's opera scene; and her remarkable survival in a bombed-out apartment during the final weeks of the war. She lived alone at just 9 years old.

101- The Octogenerian - ATAS a glittering dream - By Syd Cassyd
Permission was given by Syd Cassyd to Josie Cory, TVI for publishing.
Hollywood, CA -- The glittering dreams of the world for a new culture and perhaps world peace through television and radio turned to ashes when Hitler used all media to destroy the dreams and bodies of more than 30 million persons.
•••• When in 1946 seven industryites in communications joined me in founding the "first generation" of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, we didn't foresee that in 43 years we would get the recognition that the "third generation" TV Academy has today,
••••We weren't naïve, for since Jan. 6, 1884, the first TV system had already been patented. For those 62 years world leaders had already visualized the impact of the moving image of television on society. The problems in America was not when, but who would control the new technology.

2006/ImagesPersonOfTheWeek/01NBStubblefieldPOW108w.jpgWarnerNBSPromoLogo108w.jpg 102- Nathan B. Stubblefield, the Man History Overheard
By Harvey Geller
•••• In Life's current Bicentennial issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot "100 Events That Shaped America," 19 buttons behind Bell's telephone. Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's dots and dashes as the first wireless broadcast, a fable echoed by the World Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence offered on the following pages has not, until now, appeared in any national publication.
•••• The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of mystery, machination, ephemeral enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a two-room shanty constructed of pine and cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated architect is discovered 48 hours after his death, his records scattered, his equipment destroyed, his brain partly eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly Stubblefield, the man history over-heard and then overlooked.

The PRC's administrative climate in comparison is much less restrictive now and China's open door policy enables many entertainers to introduce themselves to the populace Chinese audiences.

114- Scott B. Whitenack-Stubblefield Esq., great-grand son of wireless telephone inventor, Nathan B. Stubblefield, died - By Troy Cory
Scott Bryan Whitenack passed away untimely on September 18, in Los Angeles, CA.
•••• Scott, aka Scott Stubblefield, was one of four children with siblings, Alden, Keith, and Priscilla. (His brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at the age of 32). His parents were Troy Cory Stubblefield, an entertainer and author and Dorothy Swafford, owner of a furniture and antiques retail store. Scott's children are Steven, David and grand-children, William, Bruce, Cora and Max, borne to Steven and Skylark. Scott's great-grandfather is Nathan B. Stubblefield, the inventor of Radio, in 1882, and patent holder of the wireless telephone (1908) and his great-great-great .... grandparents were - John and Priscilla Alden who were part of the pilgrimage who sailed on the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock from England in 1620.

(The Stubblefield story is incorporated within several photographs and denotes of and about S Scott to show how their personal ambitions and dreams parallel each other - both died - before their dreams and ambitions were fulfilled)

SCOTT.jpg
During the time he studied for the State Bar, Scott lived with Josie and myself on our family estate in Pasadena. He passed the State Bar the first time and was among only 33% to do so.
The balance of time was spent doing cinematography for my TV shows, which he considered an artistic outlet besides his major life's work, in the field of law. After he passed the State Bar he handled numerous legal cases and ended up working as an associate lawyer with Melvin Belli with whom he engaged in several cases and won a lawsuit that became precedent case law. Whitenack was committed to his legal profession for over three decades.

r•••
If you needed legal advice or help with a motion filing, Scott was there with his trusty law books. He was very intelligent, outspoken and an independent thinker.
•••• He also was a family man, who loved hiking and scuba diving, a good game of tennis and enjoyed bringing his sons to Paramount Ranch for regular family outings and Father's Day get-togethers.
•••• As to his love for cinematography he videotaped additional segments for the movie "Christmas around the World." Scott later became my producer and cinematographer for "To Catch a Dream" filmed in Europe. The video project brought him and the production team to Paris, Venice, Cannes, Munich and Salzburg. Said footage with perfect picture-book pans of the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River, the leaning Tower of Pisa and the Venice Bridge of Sigh, is a legacy he left behind for us.
•••• In the early 90s during the writing of our 4-volume set of books entitled "the SMART-DAAF Boys" about the invention of radio and the the wireless telephone, Scott lent a helpful hand in giving his legal aspect of his great-grandfather Nathan Stubblefield's copyrighted and patented invention. He also was the co-author of "Bank America, the Tortfeasor."

•••• ScottJohnWayneCrop200w.jpg

•••• His favorite poem is found on a card he prepared for one of my Father's Days titled "The Force That Through The Green Fuse Drives The Flower."

••••• He leaves behind his father, Troy Cory-Stubblefield, his mother Dorothy Steele, sister Priscilla Stubblefield Cory, brother and sister-in-law Alden and Sara Stubblefield, step mother Josie Cory-Stubblefield, sons David and Steven, daughter-in law Skylar, and great-grandchildren, William, Bruce, Cora and Max; Nephew Ryan White, and niece Jenny Wharton.
