Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes
The Marché du Film began in 1959 as the very first international cultural event to launch in the post-war period. What started as a tiny canvas screening room, perched on the roof of the old Palais Croisette, has now become one of the most influential film industry hubs in the world. Each year, we open our doors to over 14,000 professionals from around the world, where they are able to share ideas, network, and present and discover almost 4,000 films and projects in development. Our constant aim is to stimulate the vitality of the film industry worldwide and ensure that professionals have the tools to develop their activity before, during, and after the Festival.
