Shoot the Book! is an initiative designed to help bring outstanding literary works to the screen — all through a lively two-day event in Cannes!
Launched by SCELF (Civil Society of French-Language Publishers) and the Marché du Film in 2014, Shoot the Book! showcases a curated selection of books each year in Cannes, spotlighting the most promising literary titles ready for film adaptation.
International producers seeking compelling stories and insights into the adaptation process will find ample opportunities through the program’s main events: Pitches (where publishers present selected books), Rendez-Vous (personalized one-on-one meetings with rights holders) and the annual Masterclass, offering expert perspectives on current practices, emerging trends, and the key players shaping the audiovisual rights landscape.
