The event will take place on May 21 at the market’s new venue, Plages des Palmes. In light of the current financial landscape and Cannes’ unique positioning, we believe it’s relevant to explore new opportunities for funding through private investment, and we hope this inaugural event will grow in the coming years. “For the first time, we are selecting projects of the highest caliber to present to top-tier investors. “The aim of the Marché du Film with the Cannes Investors Circle is to support artistically and financially ambitious film projects,” said Guillaume Esmiol, executive director of the market.

The event will also include an invitation-only session where VIP private investors will listen to pitches of nine new global film projects at the investment stage. The projects include films budgeted at up to €12 million and feature producers and directors who have previously won the Palme d’Or and Berlin’s Golden Bear.
