Join The Cannes Film Festival with a Filmmaker in France

Hosted by

Amit

Guided trip
Hello, my name is Amit, and welcome to my trip! The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most popular and coveted Film Festivals in the World. One can see the most important films from across the world during these 11 days at the festival. It is conducted alongside a Film Market, a place for Film professionals (Writers, Directors, Producers, etc) to meet Film Buyers, Distributors, Sales agents, and Festival Programmers. Entry of course is limited to film professionals and one needs to provide evidence of being a film professional (either in a Creative or Technical role or even being an Artist) or be a Film Festival Programmer / Critic or Film Journalist to be able to attend. About me: I am a Filmmaker and have been to Cannes multiple times before. I intend to attend the festival and market again this year and would like to help 5 more people attend it with me. Accommodation: I have booked an apartment right in Cannes (About 2.5 km away from the venue which is a walkable distance or one can take the bus). About the trip: The plan is to arrive in Cannes on the festival's first day - 16th May. We will spend the next 11 days watching the best films and interacting with film professionals worldwide. I will help you navigate the festival, figure out which films to watch, getting the red carpet tickets (No guarantees but we will make sure to log in on time and get them - it's kind of a lottery). I will also help you navigate the Cinando database and find out the right people to meet and set up appointments with them (unless of course, you know it already). We will stay in the apartment (sorry no luxury there. it's a functional apartment and we have to share the rooms or even the sofa bed). I will stock up the kitchen so that we have breakfast at the apartment before heading off to the venue for the morning shows. Lunch would be in restaurants at each person's own expense. Dinners could be cooked at the apartment but late-night parties are the best place to make connections so I don't expect many dinners at the apartment. (Party invites too are kind of a lottery and we will try to get into as many as possible). One of the days, I can invite some of my connections from the industry who would meet us for a casual chat, sharing their experiences. These could be film critics or filmmakers who have won awards at Cannes or Berlin. To summarise, what is included in the price? - Accommodation (Shared rooms) - Transportation - Supermarket shop Are you in for this adventure in France? Let me know if you have any questions.

Paris

Day 12
On the way back, we can visit the beautiful city of Paris for a day. If we take the overnight train from Cannes, we will arrive in Paris early morning and get enough time to see the Eiffel Tower, The Sacre Coeur Basilica, Montmartre, etc. Those who wish to visit the Louvre can extend their stay by another day. Will make arrangements and bookings based on how many of the group want to do this. (Haven't included the costs. We will share the expenses at actual)
