FILM MARKET
 
The International Film Market will be buzzing with a record number of screenings (more than 1000) for its 38th edition, including a large number of first-films. Close to 1500 companies from more than 70 countries will be negotiating a large part of their annual business at Cannes this year. New to the film market will be the MITIC - International Market of Cinema Techniques and Innovations. During five days, this event will focus on a different theme daily: special effects, new projection techniques, DVD, digital film restoration and training with the new tools.
