CANNES — Blessed for most part by balmy weather, French TV fest Canneseries launched a new life this week, staging its first standalone edition without a parallel MipTV or Mipcom supplying a big buyer base sitting literally just yards from Canneseries screenings.

The last time Mike Leigh set a film in modern-day England, David Cameron had just become the country’s Prime Minister, leading Britain’s first coalition government in almost seven decades. That was Another Year, released in 2010.
