Swiss celebrated at the Croisette
The now-traditional Swiss Party took place in Cannes on Thursday. More than 150 filmmakers, advertising professionals, and client representatives celebrated at an event hosted by the Swissfilm Association. Guests danced right by the sea at the Plage Miramar venue. There were six Lions to celebrate.
The Swiss Party of Swiss filmmakers in cooperation with ADC has already become a successful event in Cannes in its fourth edition. With a glass of rosé and your feet in the sand, it's easier to network. Almost all of the familiar faces showed up. In the relaxed atmosphere right next to the waves, pitches and the successes of the competition were in the background for a few hours. The Swiss industry celebrated their common goals at this "world championship" of advertisers and some directors and producers could also already report exciting contacts for international assignments. "Yes we Cannes." (pan)
