The CIFF Villa, which is the focal point of the Cannes Independent Film Festival, is located 15 minutes walk from the Palais des Festivals.

 

Screenings at the CIFF Villa in 2010 were attended by a mix of sales agents, buyers, investors, producers (including some big Hollywood ones such as Tim Van Rellim, producer of A KNIGHTS TALE), other filmmakers participating in the festival, and industry people and film fans looking to watch great movies in Cannes.

 

The CIFF Villa acts as a central information center for the Cannes Independent Film Festival. You will be able collect festival programmes, flyers and up to date information from this location. The Villa is also available for private market screenings booked free of charge for CIFF participants during afternoon hours.

 

CIFF staff will be on hand to provide advice, make recommendations and answer any questions about tickets, venues and screenings.

The CIFF Villa off the Croisette will act as the film festival hub during the Festival. The villa includes a pool and a garden, giving CIFF participants plenty of room to relax, meet with friends and speak with the festival team and other participants. 

Festival attendees are also welcome to use the CIFF Villa computing center, with wireless broadband, printing and copying services, and DVD playback and burning equipment.

 

The CIFF Villa is also the location of most of the CIFF hosted parties and gatherings, and all CIFF participants are welcome to these events.
