ABOUT THE CANNES FILM MARKET

The Cannes Film Market (www.marchedufilm.com) is held annually every year during the same time and the same venue as the Cannes Film Festival, the "Palais du Festival." It consists of a trade show, with distributors showing their products to thousands of international buyers, and is the largest film market in the world. "For the independent film maker, the Cannes Market is of more significance than the festival, at which every major film distributor in the world will be represented," said Eade. "It's the buyers we want the attention from, not the press," he added.
