'Business meets Fashion & Style' - TaunusTurm Frankfurt


Some days ago on 19th of May, during the 67th Cannes Film Festival, I had the great pleasure being invited to an amazing and unique event in Frankfurt: 'Business meets Fashion & Style' organized by the HypoVereinsbank with pre-opening of the bank's premises. The event was held at the 38rd rooftop floor and terrace of the new (yet unfinished) tower-building TaunusTurm in Frankfurt for selected clients and the executive board of the HypoVereinsbank.

Starting with a cocktail reception and followed by the Dorothée Schumacher Fall/Winter 2014/15 fashion show ... here are my first pictures of this great building and event ... more to follow soon!  

LoL, Andrea

Closing Ceremony of The Palme d'Or 2014


After 11 days of films, the Cannes Film Festival wrapped up last Saturday night with the Closing Ceremony. The top prize, the Palme d'Or, went to Winter Sleep.



The 'Fairmined' Palme d'Or by Chopard


President Jane Campion, winner of the Palme d'Or in 1993 for her film 'The Piano', and her jury including Carole Bouquet, Leila Hatami, Sofia Coppola, Willem Dafoe, Nicolas Winding Refn, Jeon Do-yeon, Jia Zhangke and Gael Garcia Bernal picked the prizes from this year’s selection of 18 films in competition. Iconic French actor Lambert Wilson served as master of ceremonies at the event. Cannes Film Festival president Gilles Jacob, who will step down after this year, received a long standing ovation at the event.

Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino and star Uma Thurman, in town for a 20th anniversary celebration of their film, announced the winner of the Palme d'Or. Winter Sleep, directed by Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan, is an epic story of a marriage starring Haluk Bilginer, Melisa Sozen and Demet Akbag.

Ceylan dedicated his award "to the young people of Turkey who have lost their lives during the last year," and thanked the festival's Thierry Fremaux and Jacob for supporting "such a long film." (The film was the longest in the competition at 3 hours, 16 minutes.)

The runner-up Grand Prize went to The Wonders (Les Merveilles), a coming-of-age story set in the Northern Italian countryside, by director Alice Rohrwacher.

Foxcatcher helmer Bennett Miller won for best director. His film, based on a true, tragic story, stars Channing Tatum, Steve Carell and Mark Ruffalo. 

The jury prize was given to two films: Mommy by Xavier Dolan and Goodbye to Language by Jean-Luc Godard. Dolan, who is 25 years old, had his two previous films also play in Cannes, in the Directors’ Fortnight and Un Certain Regard sections. He gave an emotional speech, and specifically thanked Campion for the influence The Piano has had over his work, inspiring him to write roles for strong women, "not victims, not objects."

Timothy Spall, the star of Mike Leigh’s biopic Mr. Tuner, won the best actor prize. The film centers on the life of British painter J.M.W. Turner. The actor was moved to tears while delivering his acceptance speech, was was briefly interrupted by his beeping cellphone.
"I've often been a bridesmaid and this is the first time I have ever been a bride," he told the audience. "This is a lifelong collaboration with Mike Leigh and this is as much an accolade for Mr. Leigh as me."


Julianne Moore, who was absent from the Closing Ceremony, 
won Best Actress for her role in David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars.

Leviathan's writers Andrey Zvyagintsev and Oleg Negin won for best screenplay. The film, from Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev, was picked up by Sony Pictures Classics for U.S. release earlier on Saturday.

The Camera d'Or, awarded to the best first feature by a director, went to Party Girl, which opened the Un Certain Regard section. It was written and directed by the trio of Marie Amachoukeli, Claire Burger and Samuel Theis.
