Cannes 2017 Memorial to Dan Ranvaud

Our dear friend who died at the Montreal Film Festival September 2016 received hommage and love from his friends in Cannes this year.

Dan Ranvaud who was on the forefront of so many film developments, way before his “Central Station” and “City of God” broke out, was last seen in Montreal furthering the goals of Films4Climate, a global initiative of the World Bank Group’s Connect4Climate, growing the network by connecting the creative industries to advance sustainability in films and visual storytelling.

Some friends of Donald included Giulia Camilla Braga of Films4Change, Bruno Chatelan of FilmFestivals.com, Jérôme Paillard of the Marché du Film, Nevina Satta of Sardinia Film Commission, with Pascal Diot of Venice FF and Le Pole Image de Lieges, Ivan Trujillo of FICG, Alan Franey of Vancouver FF, Mimi Plauché of Chicago FF, Peter Belsito of SydneysBuzz and many others

Warm farewell party to Donald Ranvaud with some of his friends in Cannes

Some of the many friends of Donald Ranvaud gathered in the Marché to celebrate his legacy in a dear festival circuit network of friendship. A video was shown to them as they gathered in the Palais around Jérôme Paillard the Marché du Film’s Executive Director and Giulia Camilla Braga, colleague of Donald (Senior Communications Consultant) at Connect 4 Climate who edited this nice video!
