While the American Film Festival was launched in Deauville, couple of kilometers away in Trouville, the Off-Courts Festival also opened its doors. While Deauville is the place to be seen with US movie stars at VIP parties, Trouville had packed a huge amount of Macs to be able to deliver short movies within 48 hours of time.


As Mac fans we were not disappointed, hardly seen such a high concentration of Macs, there were Macs everywhere!


While most of the people were not there when we shoot those photos, the place looks like a bee nest when all professionals are in action.
The reason being that the basis of this festival is to shoot, edit and deliver a final copy of a short movie within 48 hours. So, in the morning it was rather "shooting time", so editing first captures with Final Cut Pro on iMac and Mac Pro happened later. All movies are edited with Mac hardware and software solutions from A to Z.
There is of course a theater for showing short movies to the public and professional audiences:

This photo nicely shows two eras of the film history, a Mac Pro on one side and the 35mm projector on the other.
The other company massively supporting this festival along with Apple is SONY; they provide all digital camcorders as well as an outstanding video projector:

This is one of the two models of the SRX R-110 available in France. It delivers a 4K resolution (4096 x 2160), but do not rush to purchase one for your home cinema, it cost more 100,000 Euros, and its bulb with an average lifetime of 1000 hours is worth 15,000 Euros.

All the short movies, known as "Kinos" will be available for free in Video Podcast from iTunes: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=151727889
