Avid Customers Shine at Cannes International Film Festival
May 23 2016 - 11:53AM
Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID) congratulates its international customers in
competition at the 69th Cannes International Film Festival,
including the winner of the Palme d’Or. Films from acclaimed
directors including Ken Loach and Pedro Almodovar relied on the
Avid Artist Suite, powered by the Avid MediaCentral™ Platform,
for the creation of compelling visuals and pristine sound as well
as efficient media management.
The Palme d’Or winner, I, Daniel Blake is the latest film from
director Ken Loach, who previously won the Palme d’Or in 2006 for
The Wind That Shakes The Barley. Jonathan Morris, who also edited
many of Loach’s previous films, edited the film using Media
Composer, and Sound Editor Ray Beckett, whose credits include Zero
Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker and A Room With A View, completed the
sound mix with Pro Tools.
Julieta, directed by Pedro Almodovar, made its international
debut at the 2016 Cannes International Film Festival. Editor Jose
Salcedo, a longtime collaborator of Almodovar, used Avid Media
Composer® to edit the film, while Sound Editor Pelayo Gutierrez
used Avid Pro Tools®, for audio post production.
Many other films in competition employed solutions from the Avid
Artist Suite, including Toni Erdmann, The Last Face, Bacalaureat,
La Fille Inconnue, Mademoiselle (The Handmaiden) and Mal de Pierres
(From The Land Of The Moon).
