Bonjour! Recently, Possinger Law Group made an appearance at both the Cannes film festival and the affiliated Marché du Film. While there, Managing Member Jeffrey Possinger met with industry professionals to discuss legal considerations in film production, contracts, and more.

The Cannes Film Festival, established in 1946, stands as one of the most prestigious and glamorous cinematic events in the world. Held annually in the picturesque city of Cannes on the French Riviera, it has evolved from a post-war celebration of international cinema to a global platform for artistic expression, cultural exchange, and, of course, stunning red carpet fashion. Over the decades, Cannes has played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of filmmakers, actors, and writers, with its Palme d’Or prize becoming one of the most coveted awards in cinema.

While the Cannes Film Festival is synonymous with red carpet glamour, high-profile premieres, and artistic accolades, the true engine that powers the global film industry lies behind the scenes at the Cannes Marché du Film. Known as one of the world’s largest and most influential film markets, the Marché du Film operates as the business counterpart to the festival’s artistic celebrations, bringing together producers, distributors, buyers, and financiers to shape the future of cinema. Held annually in conjunction with the Cannes Film Festival, this bustling marketplace serves as a vital platform for deal-making, networking, and discovering new talent from across the globe.
