Film Festival’s Marché du Film, which kicks off in less than a week to run from May 16 to 24.
“I think we could beat our 2019 record when there were just over 12,500 accredited guests,” says Esmiol. “It could be that people have registered earlier… we’ll see.”As of early May, around 170 Mainland Chinese professionals had registered against a total of 25 last year. Another 80 Hong Kong professionals are also due to attend, against 30 in 2022.
Iran’s diaspora filmmaking community will also be in the spotlight amid the ongoing Woman Life Freedom protests back home. Esmiol has inherited a vast event spanning the film sales market and industry screenings; the exhibitor halls; 17 genre, sector or territory-focused programs – such as Cannes XR, Animation Day and Producers Network and Cannes Docs; and a conference program featuring more than 100 individual industry panels and talks.
The latter initiative was set up in response to a gap in the offering of training initiatives aimed at emerging sales and distribution professionals, says Esmiol. One innovation to have come out of the consultations is a dedicated entrance for sales companies and buyers.
