Without the Marché du Film, the Festival de Cannes wouldn’t be what it is today: the great meeting place of the cinema world, uniting artists, professionals and the media year after year in May, on the French Riviera.
The Festival provides good, efficient and well-located structures for the Marché du Film’s participants, so they can watch movies, communicate, make deals and do business.
Thanks to these gifted professionals coming from all over the world, bringing their great enthusiasm in all cinema genres, thanks to their energy, their expertise and their projects, the Palais, the Riviera, the Village international, the Espace Pantiero and the Croisette thrive with a great variety of languages and origins. Cannes is a hive of activity, a friendly and efficient place focused on the achievement and the prosperity of quality cinema, that guarantees success not only today but for the years to come.
I wish you all a good Festival.
Gilles Jacob
President of the Festival de Cannes
