Pianegonda will be starring at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival, to be held May 14-25. Once again this year the design jewelry brand has been honored to create the special Robert Bresson Award 2024 to be received by film director Eugène Green.
The Fondazione Ente dello Spettacolo with the Patrocinio del Dicastero per la Cultura e l’Educazione and the Dicastero per la Comunicazione della Santa Sede, will confer the award, now in its 25th edition, to the director in a ceremony on Tuesday, May 21 at 11 am at the Italian Pavilion. Pianegonda will present the exclusive plaque designed, made and donated for the important recognition.
It will be a moment of deep discussion and celebration, made all the more meaningful by the presence of the wife of the director after whom the award is named, Mylène Bresson. She will have the honor of personally presenting the award.
“The special Bresson Award,” reads the motivation, “is awarded to Eugène Green, for his incessant and consistent search for an authentic cinematic form, respectful of the truth of man and things. An ideal tension to the Beautiful, daughter of a metaphysical idea of the seventh art: for him cinema is word made image”.
Eugène Green’s works reflect a deep understanding and continuation of Robert Bresson’s artistic and spiritual legacy. Through his commitment to originality, meticulousness, and expressive intensity, Green upholds the values of rigor and integrity. In fact, his work is characterized by a careful control of resources and a consistent engagement with profound themes in uniquely personal and creative ways, primarily exploring the essence of “living.”
In 2023 Pianegonda designed and produced the Bresson Award for director Mario Martone, and the presentation took place during the Venice Film Festival.
This year, Pianegonda’s presence at the Cannes Film Festival will also include several looks worn during major events, demonstrating the brand’s growing liaison with the world of cinema through distinctive design creations able to express the personality of the wearer and their desire to express themselves in total freedom.
