A Festival de Cannes badge grants access to the professional areas (Palais des Festivals, Riviera, Pantiero), film screenings of the Official Selection and those from the parallel sections (Directors’ Fortnight, Semaine de la Critique, ACID). This badge does NOT grant access to market screenings hosted by the Marché du Film.
A Marché du Film badge includes the same benefits of a Festival badge PLUS exclusive Marché benefits, including access to market screenings hosted by the Marché du Film (held inside screening rooms at the Palais des Festivals or at local cinemas in Cannes), depending on the badge type and subject to seat availability. The Marché badge is generally reserved for buyers, sales agents and distributors but any company may purchase a Marché badge provided its film-industry-related activity is formally approved.
Certain professional categories are required to submit their registration request through the Marché du Film. To determine whether you belong to one of these categories, please consult the list of professionals and their classification.
Since the Marché du Film badge includes all Festival participation rights and access to screenings, it is not necessary to apply separately to the Festival if you submit your request through the Marché du Film.
