The Marché du Film is excited to announce the call for participants for its fourth edition of Cannes Makers, a training and mentoring program designed to shape the next generation of international sales leaders.
Launched in 2023 with the support of Creative Europe MEDIA, Cannes Makers has since established itself as a key industry program — and one of the most anticipated initiatives for young film professionals.
The program combines practical training, networking opportunities, and thought-provoking dialogues with industry experts, empowering participants with the tools and insights to shape their early career. With a strong focus on international sales, distribution, and marketing, it is designed for emerging professionals under 30 who are eager to build expertise in these key areas and deepen their understanding of the global film market.
This three-day program will take place in Cannes during the Marché du Film — running from 12 to 20 May — and give Cannes Makers participants an immersive experience at one of the most prestigious film festivals and markets in the world.
📆 DEADLINE TO SUBMIT: 26 FEBRUARY 2026
