Greg Bishop, one of the UWM students who interned at that Cannes Film Festival in June.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An international spotlight was shining again this spring on the Department of Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres in the Peck School of the Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Seven films by faculty, students and alums were selected for the Short Film Corner (or Court M\u00e9trage) at the Cannes Film Festival, besting last year\u2019s total of six films at the venue.And, for the first time, two UWM film students were chosen for the internship program at the American Pavilion at Cannes. (View the films.)<\/a><\/p>\n

As interns, Gregory Bishop and Brian McGuire gained unique access to festival venues and networking opportunities, insight into the business side of film, and awareness of the range of film genres across the globe. Both returned energized and determined to follow up with the contacts made at Cannes.<\/p>\n

For Bishop, the lesson is \u201cBe busy!\u201d The festival\u2019s films impacted Bishop artistically and made him eager to tackle experimental filmmaking as a UWM senior this fall. At the same time, Bishop treasures the observations and contacts made on the business-side of film\u2014even during his internship\u2019s \u201cday job\u201d as a waiter at the American Pavilion\u2019s restaurant. For example, he has since spoken online and sent one of his films to screenwriter and filmmaker Jennifer Lynch (Hollywood\u2019s youngest female writer and director for the 1993 film \u201cBoxing Helena\u201d and the daughter of filmmaker and <\/em>television director<\/em> David Lynch).<\/p>\n

Bishop is convinced that the time at Cannes is a boost towards his career goal of producing documentaries.<\/p>\n

In addition to a bit more \u201cmaturity\u201d than the rest of his internship class, Brian McGuire brought his position as a film exhibitor to Cannes. An undergrad film alum and graduate student, McGuire first enrolled as a freshman in UWM\u2019s film department in 1989. After a move to Los Angeles and years of working in other fields, including an effort to become a professional soccer player, he returned to Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Now a full-time master\u2019s degree student, McGuire also works as a programmer for the UWM Union Theatre. The Cannes Film Festival provided an incredible opportunity to \u201cshop\u201d for films to bring to the university. Although he had attended film festivals like Sundance, this is the first time McGuire had experienced one with a market. And the market at Cannes is immense.<\/p>\n

McGuire describes a seemingly endless sea of cubicles, each occupied by producers and distributors promoting films. Entire buildings were dedicated to the film industries of Turkey, Ireland and India.<\/p>\n

He looked for films that weren\u2019t scheduled to come to the U.S., films he\u2019d never seen but heard about and films that had U.S. distribution but, for one reason or another, were not yet \u201cgetting traction.\u201d The spring schedule for the UWM Union Theatre should reflect some of those \u201cfinds,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The Cannes Film Festival definitely influenced McGuire\u2019s career focus. \u201cI started grad school headed for teaching and filmmaking, with no idea of becoming an exhibitor or programmer. Since taking on the Union Theatre job and attending Cannes, though, I\u2019m hooked on that aspect of film.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGuire also credits the festival with inspiring his narrative-film script-writing and experimental filmmaking. \u201cIf you\u2019re a filmmaker and you leave the Cannes Film Festival uninspired, there\u2019s something wrong. Better try another career.\u201d
