Dear Members and Friends,
We are delighted to finally announce this year's Cannes Film Festival Luncheon on Friday, May 17th at the Belle Plage Restaurant on the beach (not to be confused with the Belle Plage Hotel nearby!)
Following the success of last year's event, we have decided to hold the luncheon at the same venue; The Belle Plage Restaurant. The restaurant is located in a wonderful setting on the beach with a fantastic chef.
Our honored guest speaker will be Mr Hayden Goldblatt. Mr. Goldblatt is a partner and Co-Chair of Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz’s Entertainment Group, where he focuses on motion picture, television, and digital media work.
Mr. Goldblatt has wide-ranging experience in all areas of entertainment and media, representing producers, writers, directors, documentary filmmakers, financiers, and independent distributors. He has negotiated complex single picture and slate multi-party financings both on behalf of producers and financiers, as well as structured multi-million dollar film funds. He has also structured and negotiated content acquisition agreements and output deals for innovative cutting-edge digital distribution companies and alternative content distribution platforms.
Mr. Goldblatt has worked on numerous branded entertainment deals on behalf of brands and advertising agencies, often helping them navigate their first foray into the film business. He has represented international financiers and producers, including those from the United Kingdom and China, with respect to U.S. productions.
Best Lawyers in America includes Mr. Goldblatt in the 2023 and 2024 rankings for Entertainment Law - Motion Pictures and Television. Variety recognized him in its 2021 Dealmakers Impact Report and 2021 Legal Impact Report. He was also included in Variety’s 2017 Legal Impact Report “Up Next” list, and its 2013 Dealmaker Impact Report “Up Next” list. He is recognized as a 2020-2023 "Super Lawyer" by Super Lawyers magazine and was named a 2015-2018 New York-area “Rising Star” in the field of entertainment and sports. Additionally, he is recognized in 2022 and 2023 editions of The Legal 500 for his work in media and entertainment.
There will also be a quiz run by Mr. Jonathan Lippman of Nice with a special prize for the winner.
