Film Talents to Cannes 2023

Participation for Film Talents to Cannes 2023 is open for every new filmmaker from the Netherlands. The selected filmmakers will present themselves and their short film during special events at SFC Rendez-Vous Industry and get an accreditation to visit the Marché du Film from May 20-May 26, 2023. Next to that, CineSud offers them special and exclusive network-opportunities with key-players in the field, access to conferences and workshops and invitations to networking drinks and receptions during the Marché. 

Filmmakers are guided by two coaches of CineSud who also help them to organize one-on-one meetings with representatives of production companies, distributors, festivals and much more. Before and during the Festival de Cannes, CineSud cooperates with lots of national and international partners to ensure the selected participants receive the best training and networking possibilities. Amongst others these are the Cannes Court Metrage, SEE NL, the Netherlands Film Commission and Netherlands Film Fund, partners from the European Film Commission Network and partners from Screen Talent Europe.

This time we collaborate with partners Playgrounds (from the province of Noord-Brabant) and New Noardic Wave (Friesland-Drenthe-Groningen).
