A look back at the events at Unifrance's Terrace and stand in photos - Cannes '23

06 JUNE 2023

Once again, the Unifrance Terrace, a space for meetings and exchanges about French cinema and its international influence, was the scene of many professional and informal encounters. It was complemented by the Unifrance stand, located in the heart of the Marché du Film.

Hosting 800 journalists from all over the world and 52 artists for hundreds of interviews: at Cannes, the Unifrance Terrace remains the unmissable meeting point for the international press, who flock there to report on French cinema in all its guises.

But this year, as in previous years, the Terrace was also the venue for numerous international professional meetings, covering all genres (documentary, short film, animation).

Here's a look back at events at the Unifrance Terrace Unifrance during the 76th Cannes Film Festival.
