Cannes Film Festival: Student Program

The American Pavilion has offered film students the chance to participate in its student program, an internship/educational program that takes place at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Students who are accepted stay in Cannes for the duration of the Festival, May 12 to 23, 2010. Prior to the start of the festival, students participate in a four-day Festival orientation and tour of Cannes. During this time they attend workshops and seminars designed to help them gain a greater understanding of the business side of the film industry.

Once the Festival begins, students start six-hours-per-day work placements at the American Pavilion with one of our sponsors, or with other companies doing business at the festival. The pavilion includes a restaurant, bar, cafe, conference center and business center. All students have the opportunity to meet and interact with industry professionals, observing firsthand the fast-paced nature of the festival and market place.

Application Process

The AmPav application process has two stages:

1. Submit the materials online at www.ampav.com via mail before one of the two deadlines
2. The second is a phone interview.

If an applicant is selected for the second stage, he or she will be contacted by the American Pavilion to schedule the interview.

Early Decision applicants have an increased chance of acceptance.
