Traditions: the Cargese Summer School

Everyone working in high energy physics has attended at least once the Cargese Summer School held every two years since 1972 at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques in Corecega, France. I had the chance this year to attend and the lecturers included:

T. Banks (UCSC),  Z. Bern (UCLA),  E. Bergshoeff (Groningen),  H. Elvang (Michigan),  M. Gaberdiel (ETH), S. Grushevsky (Stony Brook),  A. Hanany (Imperial College),  R. Janik (Cracow),  Z. Komardogski (IAS and Weizmann Institute),  S. Minwalla (TIFR),  K. Schalm (Leiden),  A. Strominger (Harvard),  S. Vandoren (Utrecht).


During the traditional Gong show we  -- the participants -- had to explain in only two minutes what we are working on. I was first and this is my very compressed presentation on my latest paper arXiv:1204.1284   ---->



Can you guess who the person behind the camera is as well as who the moderator (on the right) and the chairman (on the left) are ???
