Film Series Inspired by an Ice Cream Brand
Believe it or not. But that’s what an ice cream brand boasts. It says April 21st will be a night of super-premium premieres as the red carpet rolls out during the Tribeca Film Festival for the debut of an original film series by Karl Lagerfeld, starring Rachel Bilson, marking the U.S. introduction of Magnum – an ice cream brand.
In producing the films, it says, Magnum ice cream brought together the talents of a creative genius and a style-setting starlet for a three-piece series inspired by one of the world’s top ice cream brands.
In the series, Karl Lagerfeld brings his creative prowess behind the camera to direct Rachel Bilson in a series of short films – offering American audiences a look into the lifestyle Magnum ice cream promises.

In the sensory-rich films, Rachel Bilson plays the heroine in three distinct vignettes. “Photo Mood” features Rachel Bilson as an annoyed famous model who finds the pleasure she’s been seeking in the form of a smooth and delicious Magnum ice cream bar.
“Applause” stars Rachel Bilson as a world-renowned prima ballerina who, when unexpectedly faced with an over-zealous throng of fans and the amorous embrace of her boyfriend, played by internationally renowned model Baptiste Giabiconi, evades them all to savor a moment for herself by enjoying a Magnum bar.
In “Art Class,” Rachel Bilson is an art student obsessed by her strong desire for a Magnum ice cream bar, and is then inspired to create a beautiful work of art as she satisfies her craving.
The first trailer of the films will post on the Magnum ice cream Facebook page on April 19, ahead of the films’ premiere during the Tribeca Film Festival and on Facebook.
