amfar - Cannes 2009

Over the years, Cinema Against AIDS has become the most eagerly anticipated and best-publicized party held during the Cannes Film Festival and has raised more than $44 million for lifesaving AIDS research. From Sharon Stone dancing to an impromptu performance by Sir Elton John and Ringo Starr, from 25 of the world’s top models strutting down the runway to Paul Sorvino serenading Sean Penn and Johnny Depp with an Italian aria, Cinema Against AIDS is always unforgettable. This spectacular event consistently has the most exciting and diverse guest list of any party held during the Festival. It includes many of the celebrities and personalities associated with the Festival, while also attracting famous names from the worlds of fashion, music, business, and international society.
