PRESS RELEASE
CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2020 FILMMAKER NIGHTS WITH UNOFEX • Union of Excellence (UnofEx) will held an exclusive filmmaker party and gala during the Cannes Film Festival 2020 in a private mansion above Cannes.
Historically, the French Riviera and the city of Cannes attracted crowds of international visitors who transformed and cultivated it into a cosmopolitan space made up of beaches, leisure, gardens, casinos and hotels. The Riviera has been vividly and polemically rendered by Jean Vigo in his experimental film À propos de Nice (1930) and, later, by Agnès Varda in her essay film and travelogue Du côté de la côte (1958). It was also the space which, in the 1920s and 1930s, attracted a diverse group of mostly Parisian artists, writers and filmmakers who moulded the space of leisure into that of cultural activity including the production and exhibition of visual arts (Silver). This development of the French Riviera into a space shaped and inhabited by cosmopolitan crowds, of cultivated public and modernist artists, is what ensured the success of the Cannes Film Festival established in 1939, at the time when the Riviera also became the huge destination of tourism. In 2020, The UNOFEX organization (Union of Excellence) is proud to invite an international community to the Union of Excellence Filmmakers Night during the Cannes film festival 2020 for an exclusive party and gala night at a breathtaking private mansion above Cannes. The Filmmakers Night will take place on Friday 22nd 2020. This is an exclusive opportunity to meet international filmmakers, directors, producers, artists & award-winning talent, Unofex members, investors and heads from the media industry for a one of a kind entertainment, drinks & hors d'oeuvres at our private Belle Epoque Villa above Cannes.
