The Cannes International Film Festival (French: Le Festival International du Film de Cannes or just Festival de Cannes) is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which previews new films of all genres, including documentaries, from around the world. Founded in 1946, it is one of the most prestigious and publicised film festivals in the world. The festival has become an important showcase not only for European films but for complete international film industries. Cannes offers an opportunity to determine a particular country's image of its cinema and generally foster the notion that European cinema is "art" cinema. Additionally, given massive media exposure, the non-public festival is attended by many movie stars and is a popular venue for film producers to launch their new films and attempt to sell their works to the distributors who come from all over the globe.
The 72nd Cannes Film Festival will take place from May 14-25, 2019 at Cannes, France.
In Cannes International Film Festival, the India Pavilion will showcase Indian cinema across linguistic, cultural and regional diversity, with the aim of forging international partnerships in the realms of distribution, production, script development and technology, and promoting film sales, syndication and filming in India. Besides booking structured B2B meetings for registered Indian delegation with foreign participants, India Pavilion is also responsible for publishing the “India Film Guide” which contains information of Indian film industry professionals visiting Cannes Film Festival or Film Market. Participation in such festivals would help India to increase the popularity that leads India or participating state as a key destination for shooting as well as it will enhance the network of the Indian Cinema and Tourism World Wide.
Media India Group is the sole European publisher with a focus on India. It publishes magazines in French, German, Spanish and English for distribution across Europe and neighbouring regions.
The magazines are available on newsstands, in leading hotels, major events as well as bought in bulk by India Tourism offices, Indian Embassies in the EU as well as leading corporates and of course the individual subscribers. The readership includes leading tour operators as well as businesses interested in India across the entire spectrum of industries including defence, technologies, food processing, cinema, infrastructure, travel and tourism etc. MIG also publishes several strategic issues, often in collaboration with the EU, international or Indian authorities and institutions, for high-level events such as the G20 meet, the OECD Summit, bilateral state visits between India and the EU nations as well as key cultural events such as Cannes Film Festival. India & You is the sole pan-EU magazine, in English, that promotes awareness about India. The magazine, averaging 76 pages, has a rich and diverse content, to attract a wide variety of readers.
The 2018 edition of the Cannes Film Festival once again saw India, the largest film producing country in the world come up with only a limited number of entries in what is known as the “Olympics” of cinema. Media India Group was there on the scene and they had discourses with some of the more recognisable faces in parallel Indian cinema such as Prakash Jha and Nandita Das as to why Indian cinema needs to step up its game. Das’s film, Manto got its world premiere in the festival and opinion on the film industry from its director was an eye opener. MIG also had conversations with film critic and professor Rachel Dwyer on the same subject and the different perspectives proved to be as tantalising as it was educational for the readers.
France is a key player in the cinema industry around the world, notably being the host of Cannes Film Festival. Besides Cannes, Indian Cinema figures prominently in various film festivals all around the country and there is also a lot of interest in Indian cinema even in the regular film going public here and hence the increasing number of theatrical releases of Indian films all over the country. Participation in such festivals would help India to increase the popularity for making it a Key Shooting Destination as well as it will enhance the network of the Indian Cinema. You can definitely cash in on the fact that India has a thriving and large film industry, facilities and locales, etc. and this can indeed prove to be a magnet to draw other international film makers from around the world to choose India as their next location.
At Cannes Film Festival, since 2004, Media India Group has been collaborating with the Embassy of India, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, FICCI, CII as well as leading French cinema associations to publish and distribute two of its magazines -- INDES, in French, and India & You. The magazines, besides their normal distribution across EU, are present in strength at Cannes and in all key places -- India Pavillion, the film market, leading hotels in Cannes, the Press Centre at Cannes and all places where India-related events take place during the fortnight-long festival. Over 40,000 copies of the two magazines are distributed at Cannes and these are the only magazines about the Indian cinema industry present at this, the world's largest cinema event, gathering over 35,000 cinema professionals from 134 nations in the world.
