FilmUSA at the Marché du Film, Cannes

The U.S. Pavilion at the world's largest and most influential film market.

Each May, FilmUSA operates the U.S. Pavilion at the Marché du Film at the Festival de Cannes, the world's largest and most influential film market. The FilmUSA Pavilion is where U.S. film commissions, international producers, distributors, financiers, and press come together to do business, build partnerships, and promote American production.

In 2026, the Pavilion expanded to its largest footprint yet: 100 square meters of interior space and a 50-square-meter waterfront terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Programming includes State Day showcases, industry roundtables, partner receptions, and nightly networking on the terrace.

Where the pavilion story begins

A year after two American film commissioners walked the Marché and saw every major film nation represented except their own, FilmUSA made its first coordinated showing at Cannes: a small space in the Village International Pantiero with a large crowd.
