Important Presence of the Vivendi Group as Sponsor of the 80th Venice International Film Festival - Seite 2

Yannick Bolloré, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Vivendi, added: "Through our support to la Mostra di Venezia, one of the most prestigious international film festivals, we want to play a key role in the development and promotion of culture and celebrate the diversity of ideas and talents. It is also an opportunity for Vivendi and more largely for the entertainment industry to address issues such as diversity and ecological transition in Cinema which will be discussed during a panel sponsored by Vivendi and Canal+ Group. Through the power of the content we produce and broadcast we have a real influence and therefore a responsibility to contribute to building more sustainable behaviors on screens”.

Maxime Saada, Chief Executive Officer of Canal+ Group and member of the Vivendi Management Board, said: “The Venice International Film Festival is one of the oldest and most prestigious European film festivals, and we are proud to be one of its exclusive broadcasters. The 2022 edition was exceptional, with the presence of outstanding films and talents, such as Cate Blanchett, awarded the Volpi Cup for Best Actress for Tár, and Alice Diop, honored with the Silver Lion and the Lion of the Future for Saint Omer, two films that will be exclusively broadcast on Canal+."
