The Marché du Film is the world’s leading film market held in Cannes, France, from 12 to 20 May 2026, alongside the Cannes Film Festival. Registration opens on 2 February 2026, with early, normal, and late accreditation periods through April, and onsite registration possible if available.
This is not a competitive call for submissions but a professional industry market open to international participation by active film industry professionals.
There are no genre restrictions; the market includes a wide range of cinema professionals. Accredited participants can attend various programs such as Cannes Docs, Frontières, Goes to Cannes, and Cannes Next, which support networking, pitching, and project showcases.
Accepted formats cover feature films, documentaries, series, and other audiovisual projects, though participation is through professional accreditation rather than direct submission of works.

MARCHÉ DU FILM - CANNES
It is an international call for fiction films in development that are looking for the best partners to enter production. The projects do not need to have part of the financing covered. The projects should be intended for a direct release on streaming platforms and designed to meet the programming needs of these platforms, which serve as the exclusive or main distribution window.
Additionally, both original projects and those based on pre-existing works, such as literary, theatrical, podcast, or video game adaptations, will be eligible.
