Festivals - Canneseries 2020 : season 3 Award nominees

By Mulder, 14 october 2020

More ambitious than ever, the Cannes Season 03 bypassed the constraints of the health crisis the world is going through to offer encounters between those who imagine and create the series and the increasingly enthusiastic and curious public. New for this Season 03: CANNESERIES LIVE, a fun digital space that will allow everyone to access the Competitions and exclusive meetings with those who make the series: Darren Star, Judith Light, Baran Bo Odar, Jared Harris, Sigourney Weaver, Erin Moriarty, Gale Anne Hurd, Kyle Maclachlan and many others.

Open to all and entirely free, the festival is rolling out its pink carpet again this year. On the program, two international competitions in the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, meetings in Miramar around the series that are making the news, programs to help development and writing and above all the discovery of tomorrow's talents.

Canneseries is a popular festival that perfectly meets the ambitions of the city and the region around the creative economy, with meetings, exchanges, autograph sessions and a pink carpet very popular with the public who has the honor to climb the steps alongside the festival guests. The organizers, professionals and partners are eager to inaugurate this Season 03 and to welcome the public, whether in Cannes or elsewhere.
