“CANNT 2012 is coming 17th-23rd June.
Once again we will be taking over venues in London to bring a little of the Cannes experience to those not lucky enough to go.
Because you either Cannes or you CANNT.”
If you’d like to sponsor the festival, or put on event yourself, please mail us, using the link above.
We will have updates from the sea of mud in the West Country, every day, from the clever cats that took the week off to wallow… Have a cider on us!
“A word of advice: check back regularly - this is a volunteer festival so things are in a constant state of flux! Events scheduled may change (hopefully not too much ;-) )”
“
Welcome to Cannt.
This year, Creative Directors and their agencies the UK over want to thank the many people that work on the projects that make them look good on The Croisette during the Cannes Festival, but don’t get to go.
”19:00-22:30
Come drink and be merry as we kick off the festival in style. Join us for a pint, a conversation and the first chance to get some points on the Gutterbarometer against the Cannes folk.
MIAOW at the girls with the tokens to get a free drink or two ;-)

Our wonderful venue is closed on Mondays - but we all need to give our livers a rest sometime this week, huh?

The Cannt-fessions aren’t a navel gazing excercise. They’re not about embarrassing stories of bad ad-making. They’re a rye look by some of the industry’s best at stuff which has gone radically off the rails somewhere. The biggest backfiring pitch, or the thing which has been miss-construed or miss-appropriated the most. The biggest lie they’ve ever had had to tell a client looking in their eyes in order for them to buy something. Perhaps its the personal reason behind an idea (‘what the ad is really about is me telling my brother that he’s a twat’). Maybe it’s the largest budget ever spent on just having a good time and shooting nothing. Perhaps it’s the story of a single traincrash campaign and how it got there… Remorselessly chugging towards disaster and being powerless or reluctant to put the breaks on.

You don’t need the prestige of a Cannes Young Lion, you need the raw dirtyness of being a Cannt Skinny Cub.
Whilst a Cannes Young Lion might well garner you with respect from your peers, a Cannt Skinny Cub gets recognition from creative directors that you stick the hard work in when needed.
So join us when we launch a 48 hours brief for young creatives to respond to at Juno on Wednesday 22nd June 7pm. There will also be creative directors around for you to get an on the spot book crit or advice.
Of course there will be a bar and music to help the start of your creative process.
The entries will be judged by a panel of creative directors who are not lording it up at Cannes and the winner announced at the Wrap Party on Friday night.
