On the days in Cannes passed one of the major social events of the festival – gala dinner Amfar.

Fall is a great honor, it’s not just a party or ball and not showing the collections of leading fashion houses. The main task of the organizers is to attract public attention to the problem of AIDS with the help of international celebrities, and collect donations to Fund research of the disease. The event was first organized in 1993 and since then is held annually in the last days of the Cannes film festival. For 24 years, the Fund has collected more than $ 80 million. The auction is the most important part of the gala evening. Precisely because he manages to collect multimillion-dollar donations. Lots for struggling businessmen and celebrities are extremely unusual and creative: the painting of Andy Warhol, the opportunity to star in a cult TV series or a movie, romantic evening with Leonardo DiCaprio (or flying him into space), performance on the same stage with the famous musician or group photo shoot from Mario Testino and others lots.
