Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes

Taking a look back at our very first hub dedicated to international cinema exhibition! 🍿✨ Created in partnership with Cine Group, the Cinemas Club brought exhibitors, distributors and industry leaders together to put movie theaters back at the center of the conversation during this year's Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes. Set across two neighboring spaces — a dedicated networking lounge and a premium screening cinema — the brand-new venue offered a place both to connect and to experience the future of theatrical exhibition firsthand. Throughout the market, the Cinemas Club hosted a vibrant program of panels, presentations and networking events exploring the evolving cinema experience from every angle, including the latest Christie and Dolby equipment and premium KLS sofas. Thank you to Cinegroup's President Julien Marcel and General Director Laurent Cotillon for their collaboration and trust in launching this wonderful initiative in Cannes!
