Campari’s ‘We Are Cinema’ Campaign Debuts at Cannes, Supporting the Magic of Film-making

Campari launches its brand campaign ‘We Are Cinema’ at the 77th Festival de Cannes, which celebrates real-life moments that become the remarkable stories that make it to the screen

Campari returns to the red carpet on 14th-25th May 2024. The iconic red bitter brand continues its role as Official Partner to the Festival de Cannes for the third consecutive year.

Festival de Cannes is one of the most anticipated, watched, and glamorous film festivals worldwide. Campari, meanwhile, has a longstanding connection with the world of cinema, having supported the industry and championed its film-making talent for the last 40 years.

It’s apt, then, that Campari has chosen the opening of the 77th Festival to launch its We Are Cinema campaign. Its role is to acknowledge human stories as the inspiration for some of the world’s greatest cinema. Building on Campari’s role as curator of aperitivo occasions, Campari celebrates those real-life moments that become remarkable stories. Viewers of the new campaign can expect a melody of cinematic moments artistically brought to life and told through the vivid red lens of Campari’s creativity.

As both festival and campaign unfurl, Campari will again host and promote a series of events from the Campari Lounge in the Palais de Festival, overlooking the famous red-carpet. This year, the brand also introduces Hyde Beach by Campari, a new iconic space on Boulevard de Croisette, where stars and guests will be welcomed, and events hosted throughout the festival.

Amongst their exciting programme, Campari is honoured to announce both new and returning collaborations:

Cole Walliser will be based in the Campari Lounge, interviewing guests and celebrities. The director and celebrity host, famous for the behind-the-scenes GlamBOT clips, will eagerly tune into his entertaining dispatches covering the red-carpet action from the lounge.

Campari is also rejoining forces with The Hollywood Reporter, recording a special festival edition of the Awards Chatter podcast with Kevin Costner – director, writer, producer and star of Horizon: An American Saga. Costner will join THR’s Executive Editor of Awards, Scott Feinberg, live to talk about his returning to the big screen Western, premiering at this year’s Festival de Cannes.

One of the most anticipated events has to be the Official Cannes After Party for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. During the festival Campari will host this star-studded event at Hyde Beach by Campari in celebration of the latest instalment of this epic franchise.

Campari will also partner for the third year with Breaking Through The Lens, a non-profit organisation which empowers women in film by facilitating access to vital funding. Together, they will host the ‘Crossing Borders’ gala to celebrate women who have transcended cultural borders. The evening will include a panel discussion with globally renowned actress Diane Kruger, who will be joined by other industry figures – including Campari Group Head of Marketing Julka Villa – to share their own unique experiences.

The 77th Festival also marks the debut of Campari’s partnership with Soho House, to host a one-of-a-kind creative film competition. Supporting and honouring emerging film talent, it focuses on the elements of life that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, similar to the role of Campari in mixology.

Campari is more than an aperitif. With such unmistakable characteristics, the brand has long been a source of passionate inspiration. Since its birth, Campari has always been at the forefront of cocktail culture, inspiring passion in bartenders across the world. With Camparino in Galleria, master mixologists, serving up their famed cocktails – including Negroni and Campari Spritz – the Campari Lounge and Hyde Beach by Campari are the perfect places to raise a toast to inspiring stories and the talent behind them.

Campari Group Head of Marketing, Julka Villa comments: “We are delighted to return to Festival de Cannes, this year bringing our passion for cinema and stories through our global We Are Cinema campaign to the iconic Festival setting. With a strong and enduring legacy in the cinema world, creativity and passion remain at the heart of everything we do. This year, we look forward to continuing to bring this to our audience through a programme of remarkable moments throughout the Festival.”

How to Rock Skinny Jeans Like a Boss: A Fashion Guide

For many people, skinny jeans have become a wardrobe essential, offering versatility and style. Whether you’re heading to the office or out for a night on the town, mastering the art of wearing skinny jeans can elevate your look and exude confidence. Here’s your ultimate guide on how to wear skinny jeans and look like a boss:

1. Find the Right Fit

The key to pulling off skinny jeans with finesse is finding the perfect fit. Look for a pair that hugs your curves without being too tight or restrictive. Ensure they’re comfortable to move in and accentuate your silhouette in all the right places.

2. Choose Quality Denim

Invest in quality denim that will stand the test of time. Opt for a durable fabric with a bit of stretch for added comfort and flexibility. Dark washes are versatile and can easily transition from day to night, while distressed styles add an edgy flair to your ensemble.

3. Pair with Tailored Pieces

Pairing your slim pants with fitted items will elevate them. A crisp button-down shirt, structured blazer, or tailored coat can instantly elevate your look, adding a touch of sophistication to your ensemble.

4. Experiment with Layers

Layering is key to creating dimension and interest in your outfit. Try layering a fitted sweater over a collared shirt for a polished yet effortless look. Alternatively, layer a chic trench coat or leather jacket for added warmth and style.

5. Play with Proportions

Balance the slim silhouette of skinny jeans by playing with proportions. Pair them with oversized tops or statement jackets for a fashion-forward look. Experiment with different lengths and cuts to find what works best for your body type.

6. Choose the Right Footwear

The right footwear can make or break your skinny jeans outfit. For a polished look, opt for sleek ankle boots or pointed-toe heels. Sneakers or loafers add a casual yet stylish vibe, perfect for off-duty days.

7. Add Statement Accessories

Elevate your skinny jeans outfit with statement accessories. A bold belt, statement necklace, or oversized sunglasses may make a daring fashion statement by bringing individuality and flair to your ensemble.

8. Confidence is Key

Above all, confidence is the ultimate accessory when wearing skinny jeans. Rock your look with confidence and attitude, owning every step you take. Keep in mind that what really makes you appear like a boss is not only what you wear, but how you wear it.

From Stagnation to Success: How to Take Control and Transform Your Life for the Better!

Are you feeling stuck in a rut, longing for a brighter future but unsure where to start? The good news is that change is within your grasp. By embracing a proactive mindset and implementing practical strategies, you can transform your life for the better. Here are some actionable steps to help you embark on this journey of self-improvement:

Clarify Your Vision

Take some time to reflect on what you truly want out of life. Visualize your ideal future, considering all aspects including career, relationships, health, and personal fulfillment. Your vision will be your beacon of light as you make your way towards transformation.

Set SMART Goals

Break down your vision into achievable goals using the SMART criteria – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Clearly define your goals and set a deadline for accomplishing them. You’ll be more driven and concentrated if you do this.

Cultivate a Growth Mindset

Accept the idea that with hard work and persistence, you can improve your skills and intelligence. Consider obstacles as chances to improve rather than as failures. Having a growth mentality can enable you to go past setbacks and succeed.

Take Action

It’s not enough to simply dream; you must take concrete steps towards your goals. Start by identifying small, manageable actions that you can take daily to move closer to your desired outcome. Consistent progress, no matter how small, will eventually lead to significant results.

Embrace Change

Change can be uncomfortable and scary, but it’s often necessary for personal growth. Accept new chances and experiences, even if they force you to step outside of your comfort zone. Be open to learning and adapting as you navigate through life’s transitions.

Surround Yourself with Positivity

Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you on your journey. Seek out family, friends, and mentors who will support you in achieving your goals and who have faith in your abilities. Limit exposure to negativity, whether it’s toxic relationships or pessimistic thought patterns.

Practice Self-Care

Prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Make time for things like exercise, meditation, hobbies, and time spent in nature that are good for your body and soul. Recall that taking care of oneself is not selfish; rather, it is necessary to preserve resilience and balance.

Cultivate Gratitude

Take time each day to appreciate the blessings in your life, no matter how small. Gratitude exercises help you see things differently and feel happier and more content. You can either make a thankfulness notebook or just set out some time every day to think about the things you have to be grateful for.

Learn from Setbacks

Failure is an inevitable part of life, but it doesn’t have to define you. Instead of dwelling on setbacks, view them as valuable learning experiences. Analyze what went wrong, extract lessons from the experience, and use that knowledge to propel yourself forward.

Celebrate Your Progress

Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Recognize the progress you’ve made and the obstacles you’ve overcome. Celebrating milestones will boost your confidence and motivate you to keep pushing towards your goals.

Remember that transformation is a gradual process requiring commitment, perseverance, and patience. By implementing these tactics into practice and remaining dedicated to your journey of personal development, you can create a life that’s filled with purpose, fulfillment, and joy. Take the first step today and embark on the transformative journey towards a better tomorrow.
