The Internship Experience

Creative Minds In Cannes "The Internship Experience" is the most competitive and highly sought after program component, as we only accept 30 interns per festival. The Program is geared towards individuals with career aspirations to work in the Film & Television industry. This unique experience affords the participants an opportunity to work intimately with a Film or Television company in a department pertinent to the participant’s career aspirations. It also provides the students an opportunity to prove themselves with a company that could hire them and launch their career. The program consists of an internship with a noteworthy Film or Television company; follow up assistance with post festival job securing and access to exclusive parties & networking events.

 

The Filmmaker Institute

Creative Minds In Cannes "The Filmmaker Institute" is designed to provide Short Filmmakers a platform to showcase their product while also educating them on how to capitalize on an international marketplace where films are bought, sold, distributed and financed.

Each participant will be put into a diverse group of filmmakers and given a microphone, camera and a laptop (with editing software) to complete a 5-minute short film as a part of a Short Film Competition called “We Made It In Cannes.” A panel of industry professionals judges the short films and the top 3 teams are awarded prizes.

Filmmaker Institute participants will also be able to attend a daily networking happy hour, filmmaker workshops and Cinema Master Classes (Hosted by Industry Icons like Quentin Tarantino & Sydney Pollack). All of which is geared towards aiding participants in expanding their knowledge of the film business, while also affording them the opportunity to make key contacts that will help them establish a career in the film industry.
