The excitement heightened when, during the Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory to the Filmmaker Award, legendary director Spike Lee was recognized for his contribution to film.

Next, talent supported the “A Rose for Emergency” project for Charity benefit struck an emotional chord. Jaeger-LeCoultre also hosted a gala dinner “Hommage à la Rose” attended by cinema greats such as Catherine Deneuve, Freida Pinto and Clive Owen.

At the closing ceremony, the award for best actress went to Hadas Yaron for her role in the film “Lemale Et Ha Chalal” and Philip Seymour Hoffman took away the award for best actor for his role in the film “The Master”.
