Where it all began…
Cinando was first born from a simple need at the Marché du Film: helping film professionals find each other and connect. In the late 1990s, this idea took shape as cannesmarket.com, a year-round digital tool extending the Cannes experience beyond the Croisette. In 2003, as its reach expanded beyond the Marché itself, the platform became Cinando, signaling a broader ambition within the international film industry.
As the industry evolved, so did Cinando. What began as a database grew into a platform designed to support discovery, collaboration, and business year-round — across markets, festivals, and borders. New tools, services, and digital workflows followed, allowing Cinando to adapt to the changing ways professionals connect and work.
Thanks to the longstanding support of Creative Europe MEDIA, Cinando recently embarked on a complete platform redesign to modernize the user experience, strengthen its technology and enhance its flagship services. Still rooted in cinema and now expanding to TV and immersive content, Cinando relaunched in early 2026 and enters its next chapter with a clear purpose: to remain a trusted industry reference — and a smarter way for professionals to connect, today and tomorrow.
