Whether you're going to Cannes or have ever been interested in attending the festival and market, this webinar will tell you all the ins and outs you need to know, taught by the Executive Director of the Marché du Film of the Festival de Cannes, Guillaume Esmiol!

In this webinar, we’re bringing in the Executive Director at Marché du Film of the Festival de Cannes, Guillaume Esmiol to talk about the festival and how to navigate it. The Cannes Film Festival can be overwhelming when you plan to attend for the first time. Over 12,000 film industry professionals head to Cannes each year to present and discover almost 4,000 films and projects in development at 33 screening venues.
Fuelled by this success, the Marché has expanded with the opening of the Riviera and Lérins exhibition halls, forming a hub around the world-famous Palais des Festivals and the Village International, the number one venue for promoting films from all over the world. As a leading global film industry organization, the Marché du Film takes a rigorous approach to adapting to the expectations of industry professionals worldwide and to emerging economic, technological, and creative film trends.
Even if you’re a veteran attendee, things are always changing at Cannes so it’s important you stay in the know. Now, you’ll get to hear straight from the source on how to make your Cannes experience work for you. You’ll walk away from this webinar able to arrive on the Croisette ready to make things happen!
