Leading financial alchemist, DVK, a global
boutique private equity and commodity trading company, is delighted to announce
its strategic partnership with the European Premiere of An Evening with Pacino,
taking place at the London Palladium on the 2nd of June 2013. The announcement
follows the launch of DVK’s film and entertainment fund which will be governed
by a leading international law firm Mishcon De Reya and structured by the
world’s largest professional services firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers.
Tickets for the eagerly anticipated event
with Al Pacino went on sale on Friday 5th of April, and sold-out in less than
24 hours, as demand soared to see the legendary actor of the silver screen.
'An Evening with Pacino' will explore the
myriad highlights of one of the most celebrated careers in acting history, from
his time off-Broadway in the 60s to the present day, with the actor himself, in
intimate theatre surrounds. The evening will include an on-stage interview
projected on a state-of-the-art large screen, bringing the action closer to the
audience. This very special event will also give audience members a rare chance
to speak directly to Al Pacino in an audience question and answer session.
At the event DVK will be hosting an exclusive
and select number of high profile, influential individuals, who will be flown
to London from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Russia, Israel and USA,
for private meet and greet opportunities with the iconic legend and to attend a
VVIP intimate dinner with Al Pacino himself.
Excited to be performing in a city so rich in
art and culture, Al Pacino said: “I am really looking forward to coming to
London. I have always felt at home there. I consider it an honour to be
appearing at the Palladium and I will be glad to be back on the boards in your
great city.”
One of the very few actors to have won the
Triple Crown in acting (Oscar, Emmy and Tony awards), winning his first Tony in
1969 for Does A Tiger Wear A Necktie, Al Pacino won world-wide acclaim for his
role as Michael Corleone in the Godfather, which also gave him his first of
eight Academy Award nominations. An enduring and highly regarded acting career
has followed with standout performances in Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico,
Scarface, Sea of Love, Glengarry Glen Ross, Heat, Donnie Brasco, and Scent of a
Woman for which he won the Best Actor award at the 1992 Oscars.
He has also directed and produced several
films including Looking For Richard and the soon to be released Wilde-Salomé
and Salomé starring Jessica Chastain as Oscar Wilde’s Salomé. With an enduring
devotion to acting Al Pacino has become one of film and theatre’s most
respected players and one of the most famous and loved actors in the world.
Deepak Kuntawala says: ““DVK is delighted to
be partnering with An Evening with Pacino in London. Al Pacino is a global icon
and one of the greatest actors in the world. DVK has recently launched an
entertainment investment fund platform, which will focus on financing the
world’s best entertainment and film projects one of which being the forthcoming
event with Al Pacino. He has been one of my favourite actors since I was young
and we are absolutely thrilled that our first project is with him. This is
going to be very much 'one moment in time and a once in a life-time opportunity
that one must seize.”
