Dude on Stone

Taken tonight just after the premier of W in Thessaloniki during the city's 49th film festival. For more on Oliver Stone click here.

"THESSALONIKI – Oliver Stone was in town yesterday to present his latest presidential film at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, “W,” a biopic on outgoing US President George W. Bush.

“People assumed a lot about Bush,” the celebrated American filmmaker told a packed press conference yesterday, “they ‘mis-underestimated’ him – to use one of his own terms. People see him as a failure, but this is not quite true because the Bush ‘doctrine’ is well in place.”

Still at the film festival, hanging out with friends, poking my nose in stuff. Great fun and the day is still young.

The 49th Thessaloniki international film festival


This year's film festival will start on 14th November and will feature 230 films from 55 countries. Also Oliver Stone will be there so I'm going to gatecrash that particular gig.
