Dear Members and Friends,
We are delighted to announce this year’s Cannes Film Festival Luncheon, a highlight of our social calendar, set once again in the beautiful surroundings of the Cannes Yacht Club.
We are especially honored to welcome Mr. David Linde as our guest speaker. Recently appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Sundance Institute and Sundance Film Festival, Mr. Linde brings with him an extraordinary career spanning some of the most influential films of the past decades. From his early work at Miramax to founding Good Machine International and leading Focus Features and Participant, his films have earned numerous Academy Awards and global recognition.
This promises to be a fascinating and insightful conversation during one of the most exciting weeks on the Riviera.
Adding to the atmosphere, Jonathan Lipman will once again host his ever-popular and entertaining film quiz, and we will also be holding a tombola, offering a selection of prizes for guests to enjoy while supporting the event.
We look forward to welcoming you for an elegant and engaging afternoon celebrating cinema, conversation, and community.
