Dear Fortissimo Friends:
Cannes is rapidly approaching and we are happy and excited that we will soon see you in the south of France. While we are still in the midst of finalizing our line-up and screening schedule which is packed with a number of yet to be announced acquisitions and projects, (which we will be revealing to you early next week), we did want to alert you to the fact that for Cannes 2012 our offices have been relocated to a beautiful new and convenient location at #5 Square Merimee (1st Floor); just across from the Palais. Here is a picture of our new office. It had not been our intention to move from our long time home at the Grand, but the owner of our office/apartment recently sold it and the new owners are planning to live there.
So here is to Cannes 2012 and our new office and our soon to be revealed line-up.
We invite you to schedule a meeting with team Fortissimo and to stop by, say hello and share a drink with us.
Warmest regards,
Team Fortissimo
*To set up an appointment, please email us!
