Cannes In A Van — A Ford Transit Custom with a 55″ plasma screen is showcasing independent film-making at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.<\/p><\/div>\n
Powered by Ford for a second year, and featuring the new Transit Custom as their support vehicle, the film enthusiasts behind Cannes in a Van will champion independent film at an expanded range of festivals and events in 2013, including the spectacular annual Van d\u2019Or Film Awards in September.<\/p>\n
The Cannes in a Van programme kicks off with its annual visit to the glamorous Cannes Film Festival, where the Ford Transit will enable film fans to view screenings of independent movies.<\/p>\n
These include the 2012 Van d’Or Awards winners and nominees while the van is parked on the Boulevard de la Croisette near the festival site in Cannes.<\/p>\n
Andy Greenhouse, Cannes in a Van co-founder, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cInspired independent productions like \u201882\u2019 and \u2018Taking Life\u2019 made our 2012 Awards a special occasion, and it\u2019s a real privilege to take films like these down to Cannes and give them much-needed exposure within the festival. We\u2019re also really excited to have the new Transit Custom as our home for the sixth year of Cannes in a Van.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Following its 2013 pilgrimage to Cannes this month, the Ford Transit Custom \u2013 complete with its signature yellow and orange design \u2013 will support a variety of other film festivals and \u2018pop-up\u2019 events in Europe. The year culminates with the international Van d\u2019Or Awards for independent film which will be held in September in London.<\/p>\n
The Cannes in a Van team\u2019s long-wheelbase Ford Transit Custom has been specially prepared for its role as a four-wheeled film festival, featuring a 55-inch plasma screen in the load area to display the films. To help movie goers locate the vehicle, roof-mounted advertising panels have been created, which are fixed to the Transit Custom\u2019s unique integrated roof rack system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
