Created in partnership with Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) and the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Power of Words project inspires filmmakers to explore the written legacy of influential figures using film. The series, made possible by Montblanc, takes a look at the teachings and writings of Nelson Mandela as inspiration.
“As a Maison rooted in the culture of writing, we are delighted to see the extraordinary words of modern history’s most inspiring figures interpreted in film,” explains Mr. Jerome Lambert, Montblanc International CEO. “We share Nelson Mandela’s belief in the importance of meaningful words and education.”
The screening and celebration, co-hosted by Caroline Rupert, was attended by Tribeca Film Institute Co-Founder Jane Rosenthal, Africa Rising Foundation Co-Founder Kweku Mandela, Chrissy Teigen and participating director Nabril Elderkin, members of the Tribeca Film Institute and an intimate selection of international guests.
