Cunard has teamed up with the BFI for an exclusive new partnership that will make waves with film lovers ahead of the launch of Queen Anne. The luxury cruise line has announced a three-year partnership with the UK’s lead organisation for film, TV, and the moving image. The collaboration will see a curated programme of short films and beloved blockbusters shown exclusively on the outdoor screen in The Pavilion aboard Queen Anne once she sets sail in May 2024.
The Pavilion is an idyllic open-air oasis on the top deck of Cunard’s newest ship, and the BFI will be showing 10 films every month on the cinematic LED screen in this romantic outdoor space. These specially selected films will also be shown in guests’ staterooms. As a multi-purpose space, The Pavilion boasts a specially designed glass dome roof that retracts in warmer climes. Inspired by beautiful glasshouses, it is the ideal spot for getting lost in a book or enjoying a dip in the pool by day and for meeting new friends over a glass of wine in the evening.
BFI London Film Festival
In addition to the collaboration with The Pavilion on Queen Anne, Cunard has announced that they will be a main sponsor of the 67th BFI London Film Festival, in partnership with American Express, which runs at venues across London, as well as in 9 UK-wide partner cinemas, from 4 – 15 October, as well as in 2024 and 2025.
Marco was invited to attend the Cunard Gala which supported the European premiere of The Holdovers at the BFI London Film Festival – in association with Universal Pictures and Focus Features – at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall. The Holdovers is a new American comedy-drama from acclaimed director Alexander Payne. As well as enjoying an incredible pre-screening reception, Marco walked down the red carpet ahead of the film premiere.
