The event is back in  \nCannes for its third edition, giving critically acclaimed directors the chance to pitch their latest projects in development to a select group of private investors. After just two editions, the Investors Circle has proved an effective platform for private investment in auteur cinema, with a number of featured projects having secured financial backing. One standout title is Renoir by Chie Hayakawa that was pitched at last year’s Investors Circle and which has since been selected to screen In Competition in Cannes this year. The 2025 line-up has been chosen “to reflect the importance of gender parity and inclusivity”, featuring directors from a wide range of territories, focusing predominantly on European talent whose previous works have featured at festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice and Sundance. The 10 projects carry budgets ranging from €3m to over €9m. “As new economic models continue to emerge, the Marché du Film reaffirms its role as a global accelerator for innovative film financing,” executive director of the Marché du Film, Guillaume Esmiol, said.“For its third edition, the Investors Circle is quickly becoming a reference point for those looking to engage in equity-driven support for independent film.” Aleksandra Zakharchenko, head of the Investors Circle, added: “These are films with real cultural relevance and global potential—and they need thoughtful, longterm support. With the Investors Circle, we aim to champion these singular voices and help them move from vision to screen.”The Investors Circle takes place tomorrow at the Plage des Palmes, the official beachside venue of the Marché du Film. A highlight will be an invitation-only pitching session, giving investors the opportunity  \nto hear presentations on the 10 new projects—to be unveiled for the first time at the investment stage. The selected directors are: Giacomo Abbruzzese (Italy), director of Disco Boy, a France-Italy-Belgium-Poland co-production that sold in over 40 territories; Lukas Dhont (Belgium), winner of the Caméra d’Or for Girl at Cannes 2018, and the Grand Prix for Close at Cannes 2022; Eliza Hittman (US), director of Never Rarely Sometimes Always, awarded the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize in Berlin, 2020; Jessica Hausner (Austria), selected twice in Competition at Cannes for Little Joe (2019) and Club Zero (2023); Marie Kreutzer (Austria), known for Corsage, selected for Un Certain Regard, Cannes 2022, and which screened at over 70 festivals; Sebastián Lelio (Chile), Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award winner for A Fantastic Woman in 2018; Kornél Mundruczó (Hungary), winner of Un Certain Regard for White God, Cannes 2014; Hlynur Pálmason (Iceland), director of Godland, selected for Un Certain Regard, Cannes 2022; Marcela S","cbCaim6iS7YAg5eA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim6iS7YAg5eA","pdf",4067467,3,1,32,"English","en",105,"# Cannes Market News\n## Investors Circle and market updates\n## São Paulo audiovisual industry focus\n## IP Market and program highlights","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Marché du Film Investors Circle featured in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a private-investor platform where selected projects are pitched for funding opportunities, supporting independent auteur cinema through equity-driven backing.\"},{\"question\":\"Which markets and activities are emphasized alongside Investors Circle?\",\"answer\":\"The issue highlights speed-dating formats, platform activities, curation for screenings, and broader event programming connected to film financing and investment.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the IP Market section connect publishers and screen adaptation opportunities?\",\"answer\":\"Programs such as Shoot the Book!
