As posted earlier, Marion Cotillard travelled to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the first week of June and Greenpeace realized a 7-episode documentary of her travels through the rainforests. Travelling by pirogue (a small wooden boat), she witnessed the destruction caused by logging first hand. Many of the episodes are now available with subtitles:
At the beginning of June 2010 Marion Cotillard travelled together with Greenpeace to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Congo: Forests on probation is an impressive 7-part video diary of Marion’s stay there and documents the plundering of the Congolese forests. I am leaving on a short holiday so I don’t have the time to upload pictures but I encourage you to watch these videos.
I will catch up on all the ‘Inception‘ promotion and other Marion news once I’m back next week. And here’s a TV alert: She will be the guest on the Late Late Night Show with Craig Ferguson on the day of ‘Inception‘s LA premiere: July 13.
Marion Cotillard attended the Maud Fontenoy Fondation Gala this past Tuesday, June 8 – on World Ocean Day – at the Hotel de la Marine in Paris, France. The foundation by French sailor and UNESCO Ambassador for the Oceans Maud Fontenoy is determined to fight to save the oceans and protect the coastlines. Read more about their work here.
I will add more pictures when I have more time. Added lots of pictures of Marion in her adorable “French” outfit. In the meantime I added some additional pictures to previous events.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day today Vanity Fair asked environmentally conscious individuals, among them Marion, to make a wish for a greener world. Here’s the video:
This is Marion Cotillard. My wish for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day is awareness, good sense and love. Because it’s the only energy that can change things.
Before I leave for my vacation I uploaded a HQ version of Marion’s portrait for the Tck Tck Tck Time for Climate Change Campaign. We previously only had a very small version of it.
While I’m gone my dear friend Mariana will look after the site seeing as Marion is so busy right now.
Marion Cotillard together with other French actors has participated in a spot asking people to sign the petition L’ultimatum climatique. The petition mainly addresses the French president, that he should take a stand for the environment during the upcoming conference in Copenhagen in December. But it also asks the French citizens to support any measures to save our planet and to show their readiness to do so by signing the petition. More information in the Press Release as well as on the official website Copenhague-2009.
Participants in the spot: Charles Berling, Marion Cotillard, Stéphane Debac, Agathe de La Fontaine, Marc Jolivet, Mélanie Laurent, Bernard Lavilliers, Emmanuel Petit, Lea Seydoux, Daniel Bravo & Guizmo De Tryo, Christophe Willem & Zazie.
People who have already signed the petition include Jane Birkin, Guillaume Canet, François Cluzet, Clotilde Coureau, Vanessa Paradis, Sylvie Testud and many more.
As we previously reported Marion was supposed to provide a design for the benefit of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque – the organisation helping children from all backgrounds getting much needed heart surgery. However, she was very sad to cancel her involvement as her contract to Dior doesn’t allow her to lend her name to another label (the project also involves fashion house Maje). In her place, Guillaume Canet will sign a piece that will be auctioned off at the end of the planned exhibition.
Finally, pictures from Tuesday’s silent gathering in support of Aung San Suu Kyi have been added to the gallery. There are a few HQ pictures as well as many regular sized ones. Enjoy!
Listen to a short interview (in French) with Marion from the event on RTL.fr.
I’ve been supporting this woman for 14 years now. I was really touched when I discovered her life and what she had to go through. She’s a wonder to me, her purity, she’s someone who’s not afraid. She’s accepted to not being able to see her husband, her children, for the sake of her people. That’s something extraordinary! Information we have about her, her health condition, her…, are frightening. And if these military people, who are deaf and blind, people who are beyond sense and law… if there’s a moment to help reverse this, I believe in it. I believe that bringing as many people as possible in this country up to date on who this woman is and what is going on in that country is not in vain. It’s a start to get her out of prison.
Translation by myself. Please correct me if there are mistakes!!
Thank you Stephanie! Marion Cotillard appeared on Canal+’s Le grand journal earlier tonight. Together with Jane Birkin she talked about tonight’s Silent Gathering in support of Aung San Suu Kyi and there was also a bit of talk about the ‘Beds are burning’ video clip. She stayed on for the remaining of the discussion about the school system.
You can watch it online (Partie 2 as well as the very end of Partie 3) or in our video archive (the final part from Partie 3 is missing here though). If anybody has a HQ clip I could use to get good quality screencaptures please don’t hesitate to contact me, thank you!
