The Cannes 7th Art Awards were founded in 2019 with the aim of consolidating of independent film professionals from around the world and celebrating the art of cinema in Cannes. Every year we organize an independent international film festival. For three editions, we have successfully organized a live festival at the Espace Miramar in Cannes and, since 2023, we have moved to online film screenings.
Online Film festivals are one of the best routes for independent filmmakers to reach wider audiences and open up new career opportunities.
