The Festival de Cannes now welcomes over 30,000 accreditees spanning the entire spectrum of the film industry, as well as some 4000 international journalists, making it the biggest and most widely acclaimed film festival in the world.
The privileged venue of both film discoveries and encounters, the Festival de Cannes reflects the dual nature of the cinema: art and industry. For if the Festival evokes first and foremost the surprise of being selecting and the hope of winning a prize, it is equally the privileged rendezvous of all motion-picture industry professionals for whom the Marché du Film was first created at the Festival in 1959.

European Film Promotion (EFP) is uniquely positioned to promote and market European cinema - and the talent behind it - throughout the world.
EFP’s mandate is:
- to increase the competitive opportunities for European films in the international marketplace;
- to improve access for European film professionals to the international marketplace;
- to contribute, where possible, to the opening of new markets for European film;
- to enhance the distribution possibilities for European film;
- to further share the accumulated knowledge and experience of the Association via its European-wide network.
