一个近乎无业的普通影迷，用3年时间从电脑桌前走到戛纳电影节

从2021年开始，今年是我第四次拿到戛纳电影节的证件了，却将是第一次本人前往戛纳，参与线下活动的经历。

这中间发生了什么？为什么实现出国参加电影节这样一个小小的愿望竟要耗费3年时间？

当我整理思绪，试图回溯3年以来的体验的时候，发现记忆里的素材早已经足够组成一段转折迭起的故事。于我而言，戛纳电影节的意义早就不只是“看电影”这么简单，而更像是一扇门，一扇艰难触碰到的门。

本期节目由我自己完成录制，但要感谢的人有很多。这里面包含适量的干货：我所获得过的三日证、线上观影证以及媒体证的申请条件和办法；少量的情绪，以及大量的人间戏剧。

希望能对大家有所帮助，也祝愿大家能早日登上“九九八十一难”里最后一难的大王八后背。

大清早把我吵醒抢名额的小金毛多多，祝她万寿无疆

Starting in 2021, this year will be the fourth time I've gotten my Cannes Film Festival credentials, yet it will be the first time I've traveled to Cannes in person and participated in the offline experience.

What happened in between? Such a small wish as going abroad，why did it take 3 years to attend a film festival?

As I organized my thoughts and tried to retrace my experiences over the past 3 years, I realized that I had enough material in my memory to form a story with many twists and turns. For me,  Cannes Film Festival has long been more than just “going to the movies”, but more like a door, a door that is hard to reach.

I recorded this program myself, but I have a lot of people to thank for it. It contains a fair amount of knowledge: the requirements and methods for obtaining three-day passes, online passes, and press passes that I've received; a little bit of emotion, and a lot of human drama.

I hope it will be helpful to you, and I wish you all a speedy ascent to the back of the last of the “81 Difficulties”.
