LDM Production, ACT Responsible and The Cannes City Hall have partnered to offer the Cannes citizens and the Cannes Lions Delegates the possibility to discover the “FILM 8” a unique and empowering project led by LDM, an independent production company.

In September 2000, on the initiative of Kofi Annan, the 191 members of the UN adopted the 8 Millennium Development Goals. (“The most courageous goal mankind ever set itself” Muhammad Yunus)

LDM production has produced a film giving "carte blanche" to 8 filmmakers to share their vision on the challenges of the Millennium Development:
Jane CAMPION - ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Wim WENDERS - GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT
Gus Van SANT - REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY
Jan KOUNEN - IMPROVE MATERNAL HEALTH
Abederrahmane SISSAKO - ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER
Gael Garcia BERNAL - ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION
Gaspar NOE - COMBAT HIV / AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER DISEASES
Mira NAIR - PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY

A selection of 4 Films will be presented during the screening and an open discussion with the public will follow. Marc Oberon, Film 8 producer will share his experience of initiating & supporting such a unique project since 2003. Arnaud Poissonnier, President of Babyload.org, an association of micro financing, will share his involvement in the project and his unique meeting with filmmaker Wim Wenders, now ambassador of the association.

LDM is now taking the platform “NoTimeLeft.org”, supporting the film, to another level by launching an open contest to all public “Contest Candidates will face the same chanllenge than the 8 directors” says Marc Obéron
