Our team

The French Association of the International Film Festival groups together the Festival de Cannes, the Marché du Film and the Cinéma de Demain. The permanent team of the Festival de Cannes totals about thirty people alongside a Committee tasked with viewing and selecting the films. This staff gradually grows throughout the year to reach around 700 during the event, and around 300 for the Marché du Film.
