The challenges
Making your stand a success at the Marché du Film
Our advice
For a pavilion or reception space, think of it as a meeting lounge: a clear welcome desk, tables set back from the flow, screens running trailers and posters, and a quieter corner for negotiating. On the Croisette, wind and sun matter: check fixings, shade and cabling before you arrive.
- 01Choosing your ground: an equipped stand in the Palais, a pavilion or space in the Village International, or an apartment or hotel suite outside the Palais
- 02Standing out over nine very busy days, when every seller runs back-to-back meetings and screenings
- 03Fitting out a place to meet: reception, meeting tables, screens for trailers and catalogues, all built in Cannes to a tight schedule

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
When is the Marché du Film 2027?
The Marché du Film 2027 takes place from 11 to 19 May 2027 (Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Cannes). Dates checked on the organiser’s official website on 3 November 2026.
How much does a stand at the Marché du Film cost?
Design, build, installation and dismantling included, allow €6k to €14k excl. VAT for a 9 m² stand, €18k to €48k excl. VAT for a 36 m² stand and €44k to €128k excl. VAT for a 100 m² stand. Floor space, charged per m² by the organiser, and its technical services (electricity, rigging) come on top.
When should we start our stand for the Marché du Film 2027?
For a custom stand, before 19 January 2027, 16 weeks before opening: enough time to design, get the plans approved by the organiser and build. A premium modular stand can be ready in 6 to 8 weeks.
Can you build a national or regional pavilion in the Village International?
Yes, this is where a stand builder adds the most. We design the pavilion, produce the elements in our workshop, ship them to Cannes and install them with a crew led by a project manager, in line with the organiser’s rules.
Is there room to personalise an organiser-equipped stand in the Palais?
In the Palais, the organiser offers equipped stands from 9 m². We help you dress them within the rules: graphics, sign, screens and permitted reception furniture, so they look like your brand.
Can you fit out an apartment or hotel suite for meetings during the Market?
Yes. The Market’s site lists options outside the Palais, such as apartments and hotel suites on the Croisette. We install a removable set, furniture and screens, and restore the room at the end.
