The Cannes Film Festival is just around the corner, and it’s never too soon to start making plans for the biggest event on the global cinema calendar. Now’s your chance to secure your spot to take in all of IndieWire’s Future of Filmmaking programming at The American Pavilion.
A Cannes tradition since 1989, The American Pavilion brings festival attendees, students, filmmakers, and industry leaders together for panels, roundtables, and other programming throughout the festival, including IndieWire’s Future of Filmmaking events during Cannes.
In addition to the daily programming, AmPav membership grants access to business services, complimentary wi-fi, parties, publications, and food and beverages available to purchase. It contains everything you need to ensure you’re getting everything possible out of your trip to Cannes.
2026 American Pavilion memberships go on sale this week at the early bird price of $125.
AmPav also offers a premium VIP membership for $995 ($1,195 if purchased during the festival), which gives attendees all of the standard benefits plus priority seating, complimentary coffee and croissants, and 10 single use day passes that can be given out to guests and clients.
Please note that The American Pavilion is located within the International Village, which requires official Festival or Marché du Film credentials for entry. Please see the Festival website for further information on the accreditation process.
