Screen Talks live Q&A: Marché du Film’s Jérôme Paillard to discuss Cannes virtual market

Cannes Marché du Film executive director Jérôme Paillard will be in conversation with Screen International editor Matt Mueller in a one-to-one edition of Screen Talks on Wednesday, May 20, at 15.00 BST.

Following the postponement (and eventual cancellation) of the Cannes Film Festival from its original May 12-23 dates, Paillard announced details in mid-April for an online version of Marché du Film to run this year from June 22-26.

Paillard and his Marché team have been working feverishly to build the platform for this standalone online market, and he will discuss his vision for this year’s event and its usefulness for different industry sectors and participants.

The 30-minute discussion will be followed by a live Q&A in which the audience will be able to ask questions to the producers; we can also take advance questions at orlando.parfitt@screendaily.com.
