Mediawan CEO Pierre-Antoine Capton Celebrated With Variety’s Intl. Visionary Award at Cannes Event
Mediawan CEO Pierre-Antoine Capton received Variety's International Visionary Award During the Cannes Film Festival.
The event also gathered star producers within Mediawan’s galaxy, from Hugo Selignac (Chi-Fou-Mi) to Dimitri Rassam (Chapter 2), Matthias Weber (2425 Films) and Federica Sainte-Rose (Blue Morning Pictures), and entertainment attorney Elsa Huisman. The acquisition of Plan B in December 2022 marked a turning point for Mediawan’s international expansion and established the group’s presence in the U.S. Capton reminisced on the feedback he received when the deal was announced. Mediawan has six productions world premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, Gilles Lellouche’s “Beating Hearts” (from Selignac and Alain Attal), and Kirill Serebrennikov’s “Limonov: The Ballad” (from Rassam) which are competing for a Palme d’Or.
