“We are pleased and honored to sponsor this year’s American Pavilion at such a historic time with the 75^th Cannes Film Festival and the upcoming 80^th Golden Globes. The opportunity for the global entertainment community to come together in person again is a welcome moment and one worthy of such an important anniversary for one of the leading and most prestigious film festivals in the world,” said Helen Hoehne, President of the HFPA. “We look forward to welcoming festival attendees to The American Pavilion, which has been the heart of the American film community at Cannes.”
