Arriving and experiencing Cannes on the second week of the festival has been a very new and really revelatory experience. My Easyjet flight was hardly full to pop!
This year, opinion seems to be that this years Cannes provided a solid but unexceptional selection, but for me it was an experience that was full of ideas that helped me to better understand the importance of arthouse cinema beyond the Croisette.
Cannes is gorgeous at the best of times, but at 7:30am it has something extra special about it.
With so many films from around the planet playing in the festival and accompanying market, it's a bewildering smorgasbord of upcoming titles for the year ahead.
And so to Cannes...after a trip on the Gatwick Express (which seems to use the word in the loosest sense) and a delayed flight/lost sunglasses, I arrive for my first time at the famous festival...very excited!
It's our 10th birthday and having a party on the beach is not something I envisaged 10 years ago when we first set up the ICO.
The ICO team have already hit the Croisette - well, some of us - with more to follow. We'll be tweeting @ICOTweets from the Palais (and quite possibly the beach) with film and festival updates, instagramming pics, and posting blog updates covering all the films we've seen.
