Talk:Winter Kept Us Warm

Cannes Film Festival
The initial release of WKUW was at Cardiff, in Wales, in the autumn of 1965. I think it was the Commonwealth Film Festival being held there. The first print was rushed from the lab onto the airplane with Sector and one or two others, and then raced by rented car over to Cardiff just in time for the screening. I know this because I was the only person to have screened the whole film in Toronto as it came from the lab, and then I gave it to David to take on the plane.

I think some other source must settle whether this was ever shown at Cannes; and whether it was the first Canadian film there.

It was the first Canadian film to open the Commonwealth Film Festival, as I recall, but that also would have to be sourced. I think there is some real confusion here. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 19:04, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
