Ford Transit Custom stars at Cannes

Movie fans at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival will be able to watch some of the cream of independent fils as the Ford-supported 'Cannes in a Van' team hit the streets in their Transit Custom movie theatre.

Powered by Ford for a second year, and featuring the new Transit Custom as their support vehicle, the film enthusiasts behind Cannes in a Van will champion independent film at an expanded range of festivals and events this year, including the annual Van d'Or Film Awards in September in London.

The Ford Transit will be parked on the Boulevard de la Croisette near the festival site in Cannes. Its long-wheelbase has been specially prepared for its role as a four-wheeled film festival, featuring a 55-inch plasma screen in the load area to show the films. Roof-mounted advertising panels are fixed to the van's unique integrated roof rack system.

The Ford Transit Custom is the International Van of the Year 2013 and the first vehicle in its segment to achieve a maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
