The Night

The room everyone wants to be in.

Sun 17 May sits the eve of the Cinéum festival screening — the night the finalists, jury, sponsors and the rest of the festival's industry crowd are all already in town and looking for the right room. The villa is that room.

Heads-up: the separate Mansion party on Thu 15 May is a partner's event — not ours. It runs a strict RSVP / guest-list-only door. Hosting / invite enquiries for that night should go directly to the partner.

The Estate

A private villa, fully staffed.

3,400 m² of gardens, a pool terrace, a glass conservatory and a private nightclub area. A proper Cannes hideaway — far enough from the Croisette that it feels like an escape, with a vintage Fiat 600 on call for guests who want the photo.

Who's in the room

The right 200 people, in one place.

The guest list is curated, not bought. Every name is reviewed by our team and vouched for by the partners.
