Regulatory News:
Vivendi (Paris:VIV) is marking the friendship between France and
the UK by launching an initiative to celebrate British-French
culture and performance art. The event, called Le Crossing, will
take place in London’s Granary Square area, in partnership
with London’s most prestigious Art School, Central Saint
Martins.
This inaugural event, in what is expected to become an annual
festival, will involve UK and French artists and performers, as
well as Central Saint Martins students.
Le Crossing will take place in October 2017 in Central
Saint Martins’ vibrant new campus on Granary Square, near St
Pancras International station, where Paris meets London.
Details of the event coincided with a visit to Vivendi’s
headquarters in Paris by London’s Mayor, Sadiq Khan, who warmly
welcomed this initiative. Vivendi is a major investor in the UK,
employing around 1,700 people mainly within Universal Music
Group, Studiocanal, Gameloft and See Tickets, generating revenues
of €750 million in the country.
In 2018, Vivendi will bring its different London-based
subsidiaries together in the new media hub of Pancras Square, just
opposite of where Le Crossing will take place.
Le Crossing will be an avant-garde festival of
Franco-British creativity, where the audience will experience live
performances, artistic acts, fashion shows, gastronomy, films and
live TV interviews. It will involve cooperation between renowned
artists and young emerging talent in music, comedy, cinema and
fashion, as well as masterclasses run by innovative business
leaders, all complemented by tastings of the latest
cuisine from the new generation of Parisian and London chefs.
