Competition at the Cannes Film Festival

The Reel Ideas Studio Program is bringing students and professional filmmakers together at Cannes. The program is supported by Adobe, Vancouver Film School, Intel, Sony and Dell.

Adobe and Intel have come together and set the foundation to change the way creative professionals work, by introducing revolutionary software integration and outstanding system performance to optimize design productivity and allow creative genius to reign free.

Take a giant leap forward in the way you create, with new Adobe® Creative Suite® 3 software, powered by an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo or Quad processor-based system.

“My involvement in the program allowed me to witness first-hand the way in which (Intel/Adobe) technology is helping media students be creative in a variety of new ways, be it through amazing motion graphics design, editing or animation. Armed with this technology, the students’ work quality level is fast approaching that of professionals “
