See You in Cannes?


Cannes is officially underway, and the London Rolling Film Festival team is here throughout the Festival and Marché (12 to 23 May).

This year, in collaboration with Yes She Cannes, we’re proud to be taking part in and supporting a number of industry conversations and events, including:

• A Marché du Film Main Stage panel (14 May, 4PM), where we’ll also be presenting a new London Rolling Film Festival initiative;

At Marché du Film

(May 14th, 4pm - Main Stage)

Discussing how influence is built in today’s film industry, from access and collaboration to the creation of new pathways for access and opportunity.

• A private roundtable on alternative routes to finance, product placement, and saving money in production, co-hosted with Screen International and Yes She Cannes at the Screen International Garden (17 May, 2PM);

At Screen International

(May 17, 2pm - Screen International)

Filmmakers, creatives and industry leaders joining forces to explore how women are funding and sustaining independent productions.

• Additional panels and networking events taking place across Cannes during the Festival.

"A Coffee With..."

For this special Cannes edition we will feature conversations with voices including Amanda Toney (Stage 32), and Sara Hamilton (E2AC).

If you’re in Cannes and would like to connect, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always interested in meeting filmmakers, producers, and industry professionals building bold independent work and international collaborations.

And if you have a project currently entering the festival circuit, submissions remain open for the upcoming edition of the London Rolling Film Festival. We also continue supporting selected filmmakers through our Help To Roll Fund, previously awarded to BFI Flare selected project “You and Me Makes Three” by Emmalie El Fadli.

Wishing you a fantastic Festival de Cannes filled with meaningful conversations, exciting opportunities, and the right people around your work.

Stay Focused & Keep Rolling!
