SFC | Rendez-vous Industryhas been launched in 2018 as a way to create synergies between the main decision-makers attending the Marché du Film and more experienced filmmakers part of the Festival de Cannes and the SFC | Rendez-vous Industry. This program highlights young talents on an international scale and supports the filmmakers on their path of feature films. Since last year, the program has been remodeled as a more effective platform, putting networking and co-production mentoring at the center of its ambitions.

SFC | Rendez-vous Industry gathers filmmakers from the current or previous editions of Cannes’ short film Selections – in Competition, Cannes’ parallel sections– as well as projects scouted all year round.
