About
the festival

CANNESERIES has been celebrating series from around the world for 8 years, bringing together those who create them and those who love them, in the iconic setting of the city of Cannes and the magical Palais des Festivals. Driven by a passionate team, it is a boutique festival, completely free and open to the public.

CANNESERIES is a festive, creative, and chic event, with an aesthetic that is its signature: both pop and joyful. For six days, it brings together the biggest international stars, the entire spectrum of series industry professionals, and the key figures of the profession, who gather alongside our prestigious partners on its now-famous pink carpet.

CANNESERIES offers an eclectic and generous program, with an official competition in long-form, short-form, and documentary series, judged by exceptional international juries. It also features parallel selections that bring together audiences and series fans in all their diversity. Finally, it provides opportunities to meet creators and talents from around the world, from the most cutting-edge series to the most popular, provoking thought, reflection, and imagination.

Following the success of its initial professional events, the CANNESERIES Festival has expanded under the banner of CANNESERIES Industry. For three days, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès de Cannes, hundreds of industry professionals from around the world gather to shape the future of series together. Screenwriters, producers – fiction and documentary – broadcasters, showrunners, composers, students, casting directors, sales agents, directors, and actors: all are there to represent the series creation chain. This global gathering connects creative minds and decision-makers who shape the stories of today and tomorrow. It is an opportunity not only to meet peers but also to understand the realities of other roles in the chain, facilitating mutual understanding of each other’s challenges.

Whether you are a professional, talent, partner, or member of the public, CANNESERIES is a unique experience to be lived at the heart of the series universe.
