Montegrappa is immensely proud of its association with Kahlil Gibran and his literary masterpiece, The Prophet. Following the creation of a collection of limited edition writing instruments, Italy’s oldest maker of fine pens participated in a series of related events, culminating in the long-awaited transition of The Prophet from page to stage to screen.

The Prophet movie premiere in Beirut and ‘The Ultimate Goal’ Charity Gala Dinner: 27^th April, 2015

The world premiere of the Hollywood production of Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet was held in downtown Beirut on 27^th April, 2015. Hollywood Superstar Salma Hayek, who co-produced the movie, visited the Gibran Museum, accompanied by the Montegrappa top management Giuseppe Aquila (CEO), Charles Nahhas (MD-MME) and Haytham Nasr (MOD-MME) as the ongoing supporters of the Gibran National Committee.

Salma Hayek believes that The Prophet is about the courage to speak up, to know you are worth being listened to. Hayek also visited the Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon and later attended The Ultimate Goal Charity Gala, a live auction of luxury goods organised by Luxury Limited Edition and conducted by Christie’s to raise money for the CCCL.

Montegrappa donated one of the gold versions of The Prophet pen at the gala dinner. Specially commissioned for the occasion, the pen was made in solid 18K gold, and encrusted with 70 diamonds – the first of 26 pens that will be ever made. This beautiful masterpiece attracted generous bids from the guests at the gala. Montegrappa also presented a similar pen to Salma Hayek, who was thrilled to receive the gift.

Followed by the world premiere in Beirut, Montegrappa, a partner in the release of the movie across the GCC, hosted the premier screening of the movie in the UAE, in association with Gulf Film and FFA Private Bank on 5^th of May at Novo Grand Cineplex. The event was attended by VIPs and well-known personalities including Haytham Nasr, Executive Producer and Mohammad Saeed Hareb, the Creator and Producer of FREEJ and one of the Segment Directors of The Prophet.

Executive Producer Haytham Nasr also serves as the Marketing and Operations Director of Montegrappa Middle East. His involvement with the movie enhances Montegrappa’s continuous support towards maintaining and preserving the legacy of Gibran. Montegrappa has partnered with the distribution company Gulf Film, to present and promote the movie to the audience of the Middle East.
