"We are very proud of being able to host our program at Cannes Film Festival for a decade now and are very proud of our alumni. Certainly in these times platforms such as ours are essential and to have a hub such as the Cannes Marketplace where these voices that often go unheard can now be heard and seen means a lot. Here we are a home and a family and everyone that attends our events and also has been an alumni, are a New Generation of artists that have an action plan to help sustain our world and live together in harmony and with Mother Nature. None of us is perfect but we do our best to use our artistic skills to show the world, what a New Generation can do and become, so we look forward to a brighter tomorrow and future generations" stated Founder, Her Royal Majesty Queen Angelique-Monet of Eti-Oni.
