While in Cannes, we had the pleasure of hosting a post-screening dinner during the Cannes FIFI International Festival @cannes_fifi @africausaint_filmfestival, bringing the vibrant flavors of Africa to guests from around the world—including Italy, Morocco, South Africa, Martinique, France, UK, and the USA.
The evening brought together filmmakers, creatives, and members of the festival jury and team, including Luis Bouillon Baker, the son of the legendary Josephine Baker. Le Dîner Africain was a beautiful celebration of culture, storytelling, and creative connection across borders.
When Malcolm Smiled features a dinner scene that serves as a powerful moment where different worlds come together through food and shared experience. With Le Dîner Africain, we had the opportunity to bring that art to life—creating a space where conversations, cultures, and communities could connect around the table. From private dinners in Philadelphia and Accra to now Cannes, this vision continues to travel, bringing people together one meal at a time.
To make the evening even more special, the dinner was hosted at Le Cocotte Riviera @lecocotteriviera, an African woman-owned establishment serving incredible West African cuisine. Every dish was unforgettable.
