CAMPARI'S STAR-STUDDED EVENT AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL DEBUTS MADS MIKKELSEN'S SIGNATURE TWIST ON THE NEGRONI
CANNES, France, May 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Last night at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Campari celebrated passion and creativity by hosting one of the Croisette's biggest film parties. Acclaimed Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen surprised guests by stepping behind the bar to unveil his own twist on the iconic Negroni – made with smoky mezcal in place of gin and finished with a hint of green mandarin for a fresh citrus lift. Following an intense filming schedule (The Black Kaiser, Dust Bunny), Mikkelsen returned to Cannes – where he won Best Actor in 2012 for The Hunt – to honour the visionary filmmakers who continue to captivate audiences worldwide. A long-standing favourite at the Festival, Mikkelsen is also known for Doctor Strange and Casino Royale, which have established his reputation as one of the world's most magnetic and versatile screen talents. Film stars, models and leading names from the world of entertainment including Barbara Palvin (model), Helena Christensen (model), Lucien Laviscount (actor, Emily in Paris), Sabrina Elba (model and activist), Dylan Sprouse (actor), Maria Pedraza (Spanish actress, Money Heist, Elite), Shanina Shaik (model), Grace Elizabeth (model), and Claire Holt (actress, The Vampire Diaries) - gathered on the pier at the Campari-red lit venue for an exquisite dinner, sipping Mikkelsen's signature creation as they debated this year's Palme d'Or contenders. Mads Mikkelsen said: " To be back in Cannes, surrounded by such inspiring, passionate filmmakers and storytellers, is always a privilege. The Negroni is an iconic Campari cocktail, served in the world's best bars, making it the perfect mixology creation to honour the incredible films showcased here. Crafting a twist on this classic cocktail felt like a fitting way to mark the occasion. I have been fortunate to have films nominated and even win in Cannes, and this Negroni variation is a tribute to the visionaries who make the festival extraordinary." Mikkelsen crafted the Negroni in collaboration with Camparino in Galleria's master mixologist, Tommaso Cecca, inspired by the bold and complex characters he often portrays. Now in its fourth year at Cannes, Campari continues to be a defining presence on the Croisette and the Mads Negroni will be served throughout the week at both the Campari Lounge at the Palais des Festivals, and Hyde Beach by Campari. At its iconic annual event in Cannes, Campari transformed the beach into a bold tribute to cinema. The actor also featured in a short film, captured during the festival. Behind-the-scenes footage showed him slipping into the role of bartender, mastering the ritual of cocktail creation. For over 40 years, Campari has celebrated cinema, collaborating with world-class actors and award-winning directors who share its commitment to artistic expression as well as more recently bringing their signature Red Passion to international film festivals. In 2025, Campari's Cannes programme celebrates creative expression and distinctive voices, featuring highlights such as insightful panels and discussions. Campari is honouring passion at Cannes, hosting exclusive after parties for premiering films like Amrum, Testa O Croce, and Fuori, further establishing Campari's presence as a key cultural force across both of its Croisette venues: the iconic Campari Lounge at the Palais des Festivals and the glamorous Hyde Beach. Andrea Neri, Managing Director House of Aperitifs, said:" We are proud to return to Festival de Cannes and celebrate cinema's cocktail of creativity and passion through this exceptional collaboration. Campari stands alongside fearless creatives who defy expectations and push toward the extraordinary, inspiring audiences to do the same. Mads Mikkelsen is a creative force who perfectly captures Campari's passionate spirit – bold, original, and inspiring the extraordinary."

Specialty shops to close as Cobb Galleria undergoes massive renovation
Specialty shops that have been at the Cobb Galleria for decades are closing. At its prime, the Galleria specialty shops were booming. 'This was the mall, the shopping area to go to. High-end stores, high-end food,' said Charlie Beirne, CEO of the Cobb Galleria Centre. A lot has changed over the past few decades. 'With online shopping and things of that nature, I think it just dwindled down,' Beirne said. 'I've been here for seven years, but the shop was established in 1993,' said Sophia David, owner of Galleria Newstand. Seven days a week, David has opened the doors of her gift shop to customers, offering unique souvenirs, pastries, and more. 'I really was looking forward to being elevated to the next chapter, but they've closed that door on us, which is very painful,' David said.

The Galleria is now moving with the times, making room for outdoor courtyards and gardens, a new hotel, and much more. 'We will be able to attract more trade corporate convention shows, which will add to the economic impact of this campus,' Beirne said. The convention center will also have a new look. 'Upgrades to the ballrooms, upgrades to the exhibit halls. New painting. New carpeting. Everything is going to be new. I know it's going to be a game changer for the area. It's only going to complement what's already here with the Battery, the Braves, the Cumberland mall,' Beirne said. Beirne said he hopes to continue working with David by offering her to sell her coffee and pastries at trade shows. David said COVID-19 hit her business hard, and recovering has been a challenge. She said she is looking to relocate her gift shop. She just needs an investor. 'The relocation, we are just waiting for the finances. We tried to talk to our commissioners, we tried to talk to minority business entities, but we can't find help. We really need people to come through for us because we are here to work,' David said. The massive renovation and expansion project will break ground later this year. All specialty shops will close on May 31, 2025, they are offering blowout sales before the official closure.

Pinwheels of Hope campaign in Dallas raises awareness for National Child Abuse Prevention Month
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center and Galleria Dallas have teamed up to raise awareness. For over three decades, DCAC has taken action to protect children. "Our mission is to improve the lives of child abuse victims and their families in Dallas County, and also provide national leadership on child abuse matters," said Irish Burch, President and CEO of DCAC. As part of its collaboration with Galleria Dallas, the center is running a campaign called "Pinwheels of Hope." Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. the Galleria is hosting their "Good Market." It's a pop-up market to help raise funds for the center. "We'll have over ten different vendors. Everything ranging from baby items to clothing, jewelry and even food items," said Holly Quartaro, Fashion and Lifestyle Director at the Galleria. Ten percent of everything sold will go back to the center, and every penny counts says Burch because families are never charged for the services they receive. "Over the 100 children and families that have come through our doors, we've been able to provide those services for those families because of the support that we receive from the communities," said Burch. Throughout April, the center has a big push to spread awareness and shed light on the facts surrounding child abuse. "The average child that we see is going to be a 14-year-old female that's been sexually abused by someone she knows and trusts," said Burch. As the fight on child abuse prevention continues Burch encourages everyone to take part. "We all have a responsibility, so it's not just enough for the professionals to be in this fight. We can only do this when everyone takes note, and everyone recognizes the signs and symptoms of abuse."
