What are we doing at Cannes?
Every year the Cannes Film Festival is held to allow
the global film industry to come together and exchange ideas and market the new
crop of releases. From blockbusters to small budget film offerings, the
festival is a vital annual event for all people involved in the film business.
Paul Hughes, one of Barnes Roffe’s tax partners,
is a specialist in the taxation and financing of films. His in depth
involvement has resulted in Barnes Roffe LLP taking a prominent position at the
2008 film festival. Together with clients we have hired the Harmony II, an
extremely impressive yacht for seminars and events throughout the event.
Paul says “a surprising amount of business is
transacted at the film festival and Barnes Roffe’s presence will further
enhance our reputation as a significant advisor in the taxation of and
financing of films.”
Paul has been a regular at the festival for many years
and believes that the globalisation of the film industry will only enhance the
UK’s position as a key market for films and an excellent place to make
films.
