Unik Ernest’s Culturin Cannes After Dark Series is set to extend the conversations and energy of the global entertainment marketplace during MIPCOM, the annual content marketplace held in Cannes, France. The three-night invitation-only series is designed to create an intimate environment where executives, creators, entrepreneurs, artists, and cultural leaders can connect across industries and borders.
MIPCOM, one of the entertainment industry’s most significant global content marketplaces, attracts more than 10,600 executives and decision-makers from across the international television, streaming, and content ecosystem. This year, the gathering will bring together more than 3,300 buyers and 1,500 exhibitors from over 110 countries, all coming together to develop, finance, acquire, sell, and distribute content for audiences around the world.
The Culturin Cannes After Dark Series will begin on Monday, October 12, with the Welcome to Cannes Party. Hosted by Piers Morgan Uncensored CEO Rashida Jones and Propagate Content COO Drew Buckley, this opening evening will welcome the international creative community to Cannes while celebrating the people shaping the future of media, entertainment, and storytelling.
On Tuesday, October 13, the series will celebrate the global debut of Cinemalistics at MIPCOM Cannes. The evening will bring together leaders from across film, television, media, technology, and culture, as Cinemalistics makes its introduction to the international entertainment community. The event will be hosted by Anthony E. Zuiker, David Freeman, Donovan Leitch, Unik Ernest, and Doug Scott.
The series will conclude on Wednesday, October 14, with a Disco Night Closing Party. This final evening will bring guests together for a night of music, hospitality, and connection on the French Riviera. All three events will take place at ELVA, located at 13 Rue Docteur Gérard Monod, 06400 Cannes, France.
Culturin, the cultural platform founded by Unik Ernest, aims to connect people, places, and organizations through experiences, storytelling, and technology. Ernest’s work spans hospitality, entertainment, brand partnerships, cultural diplomacy, philanthropy, and global experiences. Through Lokee Worldwide Productions, he has developed experiences at the intersection of entertainment, hospitality, and culture, with work surrounding major global moments, including the Cannes Film Festival, Sundance, and the Grammy Awards.
The Culturin Cannes After Dark Series is part of Ernest’s broader vision to use hospitality as a vehicle for cultural exchange and to create spaces designed to encourage connections among people who may otherwise operate in entirely different industries. Culturin’s team brings collective experience in developing and producing events surrounding some of the world’s most prominent international gatherings, including the Super Bowl, the Oscars, Davos, the Cannes Film Festival, and the United Nations General Assembly.
The series will serve as a window into the broader vision behind Culturin, the cultural platform connecting people, places, and organizations through authentic cultural experiences, storytelling, and technology.
