News Story

The 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival kicks off next week, and we are preparing for another fantastic year of Film London activity.

On Sunday 17 May, we are delighted to bring All Change, Please: Identifying New Content Strategies, Partners and IP in a Shifting Landscape to the Marché du Film. From transmedia to the creator economy, the film industry is changing like never before. Spanning production, acquisition, film-making talent and screen agency expertise, this panel explores the intersection of established and innovative ways of creating film, TV and screen ‘content’, where to find new IP and how to turn new challenges into new opportunities.

Whether you work in production, development, acquisitions or sales, this essential panel from the team at Film London will help you navigate this new terrain, showing how screen agencies like Film London are helping adjust and make the most of fresh approaches and opportunities.

We are excited to be a shortlisted for the Global Production Awards 2026. We are nominated alongside Creative Zero for the Fuel Project, which brought together film agencies, sustainability consultants, academia, suppliers, producers, broadcasters, streamers, major studios and more, to develop decarbonisation scenarios and timelines for the industry. Presented by Screen International, the Global Production Awards celebrate outstanding and sustainable work in the world of film and TV production, locations and studios.

We'll also be supporting the British Film Commission on Saturday 16 May , where they'll be talking on the Palais Stage with industry professionals about collaboration, cultural prowess and how to create lasting cross-European partnerships.

Film London will once again be on the Croissette throughout the festival, flying the flag for the London film industry, supporting emerging talent, sparking meaningful business connections and attending the Global Production Awards. Please don’t hesitate to say hello to a member of the team if you spot them at the festival.
