The closing night Festival Hub Mixer was a huge success! 🥂

Thank you to everyone who attended, it was lovely getting to meet and chat with you all.

Are you as sad as we are that Cannes is coming to an end?

Holding space for the changes the fellows experienced this Cannes 🙂‍↕️

⚠️ FLASH WARNING ⚠️

The team had so much fun at the @americanpavilion 21st annual Queer Night! 🌈 Thank you to our friends at AmPav for throwing another epic party and giving us the opportunity to dance the night away! 🪩

6th Annual Bubbles and Bites? ✅

We had such a blast welcoming Cordillera alums, Cannes official selections, and so many more into our space to share a morning of networking and community amidst the chaos of Cannes.

A huge thank you to @amshanley for playing some music to set the vibe!

Thanks to everyone who came out for a record setting year, we can’t wait to do it again next year! 💛

🎥🎬My last day in Cannes, France… I can’t wait to recap the film festival with you. What an absolute privilege to be here working. Thank you Reno-Tahoe Territory for recognizing the opportunity and @ciff_nv for bringing the opportunity with your work in northern Nevada.

Premiers on premiers on premiers! 🤵‍♂️

The team saw Nagi Notes, Congo Boy, Parallel Tales, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, and finished with Propeller One Way Night Coach and saw director John Travolta awarded a Palme d’Or 🌿

What a day!

A beautiful and busy day on the Palais! ☀️

The morning started with the Festival Hub Breakfast we were proud to co-host :) We mixed and mingled with other festivals from all around the world!

Then it was off to a Q&A with another iconic director- Peter Jackson 🧙‍♂️ and a special guest appearance from Frodo himself!

Finally we ended with a fabulous party at the American Pavilion. AmPav is our home away from home during Cannes. If the team isn’t in a screening, a Q&A, or a panel, they’re probably at AmPav networking with other filmmakers, festivals, and producers or just enjoying the immaculate vibes ✨

Starting off the festivities strong with a screening of Pan’s Labyrinth with Guillermo del Toro! 🤯

The fellows got an up close and intimate experience, and even got to hear the prolific director’s opinion on AI 🤭

Cannes may be known for red carpets, but for destinations like Northern Nevada, it is also where meaningful film conversations begin. 🎬

I’m here representing the Reno-Tahoe Territory and Cordillera International Film Festival to help position Northern Nevada as a film-friendly, visually unforgettable, collaborative region for future productions.

Film matters for tourism and economic development. It brings crews into hotels, restaurants, shops, and local businesses. It creates opportunities for local talent. It gives destinations a new kind of visibility, one that can live on long after the cameras stop rolling.

And Northern Nevada has a story worth telling.

From Reno to Lake Tahoe, Carson City, Virginia City, Carson Valley our region offers filmmakers cinematic variety, authentic communities, and a level of partnership that can make production feel possible.

This work is about showing up early, building relationships, and making sure our region is part of the conversation when filmmakers are deciding where their next story belongs.

Proud to be here on behalf of the Reno-Tahoe region and Cordillera and help carry Northern Nevada’s story into the global film industry. ✨#cannes #nevada

Literally watched Cannes roll out the red carpet today 💃🏻

The team secured their festival accreditation and passes, settled into the villa, and watched the finishing touches get applied to Cannes on their first full day.

The iconic Cannes red carpet steps lead into the Grand Auditorium Lumiere theater which holds over 2,000 seats and is the primary venue for major film premieres during the festival.

Have you seen a movie in Cannes’ Grand Lumiere theater? Let us know in the comments! 💬
