MDF PARTNERSHIP - Special rate for Film Market Accreditation
The Cannes Film Market (Marché du Film - MDF) will take place in a hybrid format (physical/online) from Tuesday, 13 to Wednesday, 21 May 2025. As a network member, you can obtain a special rate for your MDF accreditation through Europa Cinemas. This year, the negotiated rate is 310 € (VAT excl.) instead of the regular rate of 499 € (VAT excl.).
You can benefit from this special offer, by using a personal access code that you can request by writing to communication@europa-cinemas.org (one promotional code per person).
👉Registrations are open from Monday, 3rd February 2025 and must be processed directly on the Film Market registration portal before Friday, 2nd May 2025.
IMPORTANT: This special rate is only available for network exhibitors and members. Your accreditation must be paid by credit card.
Free access to Cinando platform for Europa Cinemas members
In the framework of this partnership, Europa Cinemas members have free access to all services of the Cinando platform. We offer you the opportunity to watch more than 600 recent films online. In order to create your Cinando account, please contact us by email (communication@europa-cinemas.org).
👉The Europa Cinemas Label winning films are available on Cinando.
DIRECTORS’ FORTNIGHT ACCREDITATION
As in previous years, Europa Cinemas network exhibitors can get a priority access badge for Directors’ Fortnight screenings.
👉If you would like to receive this badge, please contact us by email (communication@europa-cinemas.org) before Friday, 11 April 2025 and send us your contact details (first name, last name, function/job title, cinema, city, country, email address and frontal headshot in JPEG format).
It is not necessary to request a priority access badge for the Directors' Fortnight, if you are using a Market badge, as both badge types grant the same access to Directors' Fortnight. Please note that we receive a limited number of badges and many requests. Therefore, Europa Cinemas will issue only one badge per exhibition company. We will inform you as soon as possible where to pick up your badge.
