Born as part of the European Film Festival in 2007, CIFF is the
hub for low-budget filmmaking at Cannes. With the mission of integrating low-budget indie
films into the lifeblood of the Cannes Festival, CIFF now enters its
third year of levelling the playing field for great filmmakers to get
their works shown, and sold, in Cannes.
CIFF is developing into a crucial business hub for the low-budget indie film industry, a key attraction during the Festival de Cannes, and one of the Europe’s most popular indie festivals. With an emphasis on new talent, discovery and innovation, CIFF’s vibrant programme of films and events combines a commitment to indie filmmaking ideals with a sound understanding of their possibilities in the marketplace.
