CHANEL Connects

How has Korean culture become a global phenomenon? Musician G-Dragon, known as the “King of K-pop” and an artist across multiple mediums, connects with renowned cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo, whose vision and dynamic camerawork have animated films from Snowpiercer to Parasite. Together, they explore their inspirations, creative processes, and the growing impact of Korean culture. This conversation is moderated by musician, model and House ambassador Soo Joo Park.

Dans cet épisode de CHANEL Connects, les réalisatrices Maimouna Doucouré et Audrey Diwan se rencontrent pour la première fois pour échanger sur l’importance de la collaboration dans le processus créatif, leurs expériences avec de jeunes talents du cinéma et la dimension politique de leur travail.

Maimouna Doucouré est lauréate du prestigieux Academy Gold Fellowship Award pour son film « Mignonnes ». Audrey Diwan a notamment été récompensée par un Lion d’Or à la Mostra de Venise en 2021 pour son film « L’événement ». Elle a plus récemment réalisé le film « Emmanuelle » présenté à Cannes cette année et mettant en scène l'actrice Léa Seydoux.

Filmmaker, writer, and actor Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, Killing Eve) connects with novelist Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl, Sharp Objects) to ask: Why do women have to be good? And what happens when they aren’t? In this episode, moderated by Diane Solway, Head of Arts and Culture Programmes at Chanel, they talk about the comedy in tragedy, new kinds of -anti-heroines, the female characters they long to write, and how they “keep the crazy” of their work from colouring their own lives.

Artist Kennedy Yanko makes visceral abstract sculptures from paint skin and scrap metal. In 2021, she was an artist in resident at the Rubell museum in Miami, where she presented her latest exhibition, White Passing, a reference to her biracial heritage. Kennedy connects with DJ and producer, Honey Dijon known for her high energy sets, fusing classic disco with techno and house. In this episode, Diane Solway, Head of Arts & Culture Programs at CHANEL, moderates a conversation between both as they discuss how they got started in their creative industries, community, collective energy, and the craziest nights they’ve ever had.
