Random covers for the official programme of the 70th Festival de Cannes
Under the artistic direction of Philippe Savoir (filifox.com), the Festival de Cannes has decided to celebrate its 70th season by turning the official programme into a collector’s item.
Art & Caractère printers, the Festival’s regular partners for all its official publications and posters, were more than happy to rise to the challenge – in this case to mount a large-scale randomised print-run on a traditional offset press. And so, thanks to constant changes brought about by a succession of manual interventions and the close teamwork of all involved, the printing process resulted in 34,000 different covers – making every single copy a unique and original item!
