BMW Films, the iconic brand known for its innovative approach to advertising, has released a new production called "The Calm" starring Pom Klementieff and Uma Thurman. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and has been generating buzz ever since.
The film, which is directed by acclaimed director and filmmaker Janusz Kaminski, follows the story of two women who find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere after their car breaks down. As they wait for help, they are forced to confront their fears and anxieties, ultimately finding a sense of peace and calm within themselves.
What makes "The Calm" stand out is the integration of the BMW i7 M70 xDrive, the brand's latest electric vehicle. The car serves as a crucial element in the film, as it represents a symbol of hope and the promise of a better future. Through the i7 M70 xDrive, the women are able to charge their phones and connect with the outside world, providing a sense of security and reassurance.
The film's use of the i7 M70 xDrive also highlights BMW's commitment to sustainability and the environment. The car is powered by advanced electric technology, and its production process prioritizes sustainability and resource efficiency.
In a statement about the film, BMW's Head of Brand Communications, Tobias Eismann, said, "We're thrilled to showcase our latest technology and design in this beautiful and emotional film. 'The Calm' is not only a testament to the power of storytelling, but also to our commitment to innovation and sustainability."
The film's star-studded cast is also worth noting. Pom Klementieff, known for her roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, delivers a powerful performance as one of the stranded women. Uma Thurman, a veteran actress and Cannes regular, brings a sense of gravitas and depth to her role as the other woman.
Overall, "The Calm" represents a unique and captivating approach to advertising. By seamlessly integrating their latest electric vehicle into a compelling narrative, BMW has created a memorable and thought-provoking film that resonates with audiences on a deeper level. With the Cannes premiere generating buzz and positive reviews, it's clear that BMW Films has once again delivered a hit.

Amalgam Collection has today revealed that they have started development of a Limited Edition of 1:18 scale models perfectly replicating the unique Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor Made that sold at auction for $5.1m in New York, last October. Limited to 250 pieces, this special Art Car edition is a celebration of the passion and artistry of Ferrari Centro Stile, and will become a much sought-after collectable, especially appealing to Ferrari’s most ardent followers who also appreciate art and design. The creative team at Amalgam anticipate that the edition of models will be completed by their artisans in Autumn 2024. Currently, models in this exceptional edition are only available to pre-order directly from Amalgam Collection.
The new Limited Edition of 250 1:18 scale models follows in the footsteps of the creation by Amalgam of a unique 1:8 scale model last year. The handcrafted 1:8 model was donated by Amalgam Collection and raised significant funding for the Ferrari Foundation, alongside the real car that fetched $5.1 million USD.
Using the original CAD data supplied by Ferrari Centro Stile, Amalgam’s artisans have been able to perfectly recreate the form and every refined detail of the livery of the unique 812 Competizione Tailor Made. The model only received the approval of Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni and his design team once they were fully satisfied with its accuracy of representation.
Sandy Copeman, Founder of Amalgam Collection, commented: “While our models are often described as works of art, and are indeed artistic in their creation, in truth, since they deliver the essence of the cars they represent, ultimately the beauty of our models is dependent on the beauty of the car they capture. In this instance, there is no question that both the car and models are art.”
