Canneseries Festival to Remain Standalone Event in Spring Without MipTV; Canal+ to Return as Sponsor
While MipTV is relocating to London with a revamped format, Canneseries Festival will remain on the Croisette as a standalone event in the spring.
Benoit Louvet, the managing director of Canneseries, told Variety in an exclusive interview that the festival will return in 2025 on April 22-27 with its major partners, the city of Cannes, the region PACA and the Vivendi-owned pay TV group Canal+. The sixth edition, which wrapped on April 10, hosted the world premieres of highly anticipated international shows including Disney+’s “Becoming Karl Lagerfeld” and AppleTV+’s “Franklin,” with big stars such as Daniel Bruhl and Michael Douglas on the ground. Canneseries is also preparing to ramp up its industry sidebar in 2025, Louvet said, pointing to the success of the Cannes Connections program which just held its fifth edition and brought together up-and-coming screenwriters and established producers.
