says it is anticipating in-person industry attendance at its 2022 edition to be “much higher than last year”, with the vast majority of delegates set to make the trip.
Jerome Paillard, who is set to oversee his final Marche du Film before handing over the keys to Guillaume Esmiol, told Deadline that this year the event was forecasting only 10% of delegates to be virtual attendees, with the remainder travelling to France. Albert Lee, director of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, told Deadline that appetite to be at Cannes from the Asian market was “palpable”.
Raymond Phathanavirangoon of the Bangkok-based Southeast Asia Fiction Film Lab SEAFIC said he was planning to travel to London at the end of April and then travel to France from there. Elsewhere, a delegation from the Busan International Film Festival is also expected to be present in Cannes.
