What is in it for filmmakers who submit?
if you’ve made a brilliant indie film but couldn’t get into the main Cannes Film Festival, but would still like your film to screen during the festival, and be a part of the whole Cannes hub-bub, CIFF gives you the chance to do so. We run a the same services anyone would expect from an indie film fest, but we do it in the middle of the biggest film industry gathering there is. Cannes is packed with film-lovers looking for screenings. So, unlike many other indie film festivals where you’re lucky to get a handful of viewers for your film if you land a weekday daytime slot, at Cannes every screening will be packed, and you even have the chance to invite along any industry big-wigs you’ve chatted up on the Croisette.
