MipTV 2008

According to the Guardian's Leigh Holmwood, The third day of business at the MipTV programme market has begun here in Cannes to very cold and overcast weather.

Even though the market is teeming with as many people as ever, the atmosphere is distinctly more quiet, with few big parties or events. A lot of sellers and buyers say they don't plan to do much actual business here, seeing it as more of a meet and greet, but even that feels more muted this year.

This year I am not attending the April market event, missing it for the first time in over a decade. Looks like a good decision, since in the past I mostly had brilliant weather as well as exciting impulses resulting from conversations in Cannes.

It must be age, but I think I'm getting more and more sensitive to weather year by year.
