The Better World Fund (BWF), chaired by Manuel Collas de la Roche, is proud to announce the celebration of its 10th anniversary, marked by an exceptional gala dinner on May 20, 2025 on the beach of the Hôtel Carlton, during the Cannes Film Festival. This special event pays tribute to ten years of commitment by the BWF, which works to use film and art as vehicles for raising awareness and supporting humanitarian causes.
This year, we are honored to put India in the spotlight, highlighting women's rights, gender equality and education, in the presence of influential personalities from around the world.
The day will kick off at 10am with a master class led by Guila Clara Kessous, Ambassador for Peace and UNESCO Artist. The event will close with a gala dinner at 7:30pm on the beach of the Hôtel Carlton, during which an auction will be held to benefit the Salaam Baalak Trust Delhi. This non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Delhi, India, is committed to offering support and protection to street children and young workers. It benefits from the patronage of renowned director Mira Nair.
Notable gifts include two guitars signed by Kevin Costner and Sting, a week's detox at La Prairie (Switzerland), and much more. The auction will be conducted by Tessier Sarrou & Artlys Patrimoine.
