Beast performance
The annual Palme Dog, initiated by British journalist Toby Rose, has gained increasing attention on the Croisette, with this year's champion - Moses, the chalk-drawn mutt in Lars von Trier's Dogville - having his prize accepted by the film's producer. And there were plenty more interesting beasts around. Samira Makhmalbaf's film featured a very sad donkey; Vincent Gallo showed us plenty of bunnies; Gus van Sant's Elephant was in competition. But the award goes to... Stephen Hawking's cat. The feline - the funniest thing I saw throughout the entire festival - spoke with a synthesised voice and railed against her owner, his theories, black holes and congestion charging. The cat starred in a three-minute short playing as part of the impressive and imaginative Straight 8 festival, a guerrilla-style movement in which British filmmakers create movies on old-school Super 8 cameras.
