    Best bargain in Cannes?

    To dive into the sea not more than one minute from where you are staying, between watching two movies you’ve been looking forward to for a while.

    Favorite meal in Cannes?

    Salade chèvre chaud.

    Most overrated restaurant?

    If there are some, I have not entered them yet.

    Biggest Cannes
    faux pas?

    Only a substantial series of small faux pas that I call living life.

    Best place to grab a drink after 3 a.m.?

    It is not a burning question for someone who is watching films at 8:30 a.m.

    Place to avoid during the festival?

    It’s good to be aware of the big film premieres’ timing in case you rush somewhere passing by the Palais.

    Your “only in Cannes” moment?

    Oysters with Eva Zaoralová, my predecessor in the chair of KVIFF’s artistic director.

    Biggest Cannes pet peeve?

    Anything disturbing
    the film screening drives me mad.

    Cannes guilty pleasure?

    Cannes Classics. Without “guilty.”

    Strangest request you’ve ever received in Cannes?

    No request has ever been strange in Cannes, not even during COVID.

    Most interesting celeb encounter?

    Unexpectedly running into Casey Affleck, an old friend of KVIFF, on the street.

    Attitude toward timing/reporting on standing ovations at premieres?
    It does not represent an issue I spend much time reflecting upon, but in general I do not see it as a problem.
