Campari Celebrates the Art of Cinema at Cannes 2025
Campari, the iconic Italian aperitif, is making its grand return to the prestigious
Cannes Film Festival for the fourth consecutive year as an official partner, this time featuring the celebrated actor
Mads Mikkelsen. Known for its vibrant red color and distinct bitter flavor, Campari symbolizes passion and creativity, making it the perfect match for the artistic spirit of one of the film world's most illustrious events.
From May 13 to 24, 2025, the Croisette will be alive with celebrations that embody the artistic essence of cinema, thanks to a series of spectacular events hosted by Campari. A highlight will undoubtedly be the much-anticipated “
Discover Red” event, taking place at
Hyde Beach by Campari on Saturday, May 17. This glamorous gathering is dedicated to celebrating bold filmmakers in true Campari style, offering an immersive experience into the realm of creativity.
Additionally, Campari will play host to
Breaking Through The Lens, an event aimed at empowering women and marginalized filmmakers by providing vital funding and support. This is part of Campari's commitment to championing diverse voices in the film industry.
The
Hollywood Reporter is also collaborating with Campari for a special live recording of the
Awards Chatter podcast in the Campari Lounge during the festival. This year features the legendary Oscar-winning actress
Sissy Spacek, highlighting the intersection of cinema and classic cocktails.
Campari will also host officially recognized after-parties for film premieres, setting the mood for celebration after screenings of films like
AMRUM starring Diane Kruger and
Fuori featuring Valeria Golino. These gatherings offer attendees a chance to continue the cinematic conversation over expertly crafted cocktails.
Another significant attraction will be the introduction of a limited-edition cocktail, the
Red Carpet – Cannes Edition, designed by Tommaso Cecca, Global Head of Camparino. This cocktail will feature a unique blend of Campari infused with hibiscus, vermouth, and Courvoisier VSOP, creating a drink that resonates with the vigor and opulence of both cinema and the picturesque Côte d'Azur.
Campari’s relationship with the Cannes Film Festival is not new; for over 40 years, the brand has passionately supported international film festivals while collaborating with renowned actors and directors who share a commitment to artistic expression. It serves as a bridge between the art of mixology and the storytelling of cinema.
