Accreditation: £0.00
Back in the day this used to be a hard copy application, with
photographs, colour copies, business cards, courier - I think it cost me
£60 in all. Now it's all PDFs and online forms, and costs zip!
Accommodation: £153 for two nights in a shared flat
This is twice what I paid before, dammit - but then, it was a clean,
cute one-bed studio only 5 minutes walk from the croisette, with an iron
and a decent shower, sharing with 3 other women.
Transport: £250 for the Eurostar and the two sleeper trains.
This looks steep in the era of cheap flights, but as I didn't have to
buy a train ticket to Gatwick/Luton, or bus transfer from Nice to
Cannes, it worked out cheaper than the Easyjet equivalent, and gave me
and extra 12 hours to enjoy the festival.(If I'd been able to book
earlier, I could have got this for under £100!)
Subsistence: I spent 100 Euros (approx £75) over the course of 88 hours -
mostly on sandwiches, water, fruit, and coffee. Oh, and a book by John
Berger which I didn't have time to read.
Other: I bought some clothes, but all of them things I desperately
needed to temp over the summer - the Stone Caravan look (3 sweaters,
skirt *and* trousers, crocs or wellies, mud) is neither corporate nor
seasonal. Ditto the hair cut (£29) and the waxing (£15)
Damage: £15 excess for the replacement phone
Freebies: Tacky Delegate bag, four coffees, ear plugs on train, tickets
to movies, many glasses of rather acid rose wine, WIFI internet access,
a tartan lanyard from the Scottish Screen stand.
Saturday - the return to the Caravan. yay!!!!!
