Rolex has always been a brand that supports and nurtures talents through its ecologic and philanthropic programmes; not least of all, the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative that launched in 2002. Last year saw the watchmaker cementing its support of film through a partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in addition to being a Proud Sponsor of the Oscars and a Founding Supporter of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Rolex returned to the stage once again this year with a short film featuring four of the industry’s most respected names at the 90th Academy Awards: Kathryn Bigelow, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Martin Scorsese and James Cameron. Even more impressive is the footage that sees these four luminaries sharing their thoughts on each other with respect and admiration befitting their legendary standing. Watch it at www.rolex.com.
