Cannes 2010: Lawrence Bender on the end of the world

Cannes 2010 isn't just about the films competing for prizes and press, it's also a marketplace for film producers and distributors to strike deals that wll finance future film, or bring already finished products to cinema and home video.

Lawrence Bender, longtime friend and producing partner of a certain Quentin Tarantino, is in Cannes for such a reason - to sell his new documentary on the global nuclear threat.

Well that sounds like a barrel of laughs.
