The Cannes Film Festival says brothers Joel and Ethan Coen will be the festival jury's first joint chairmen.
In a statement Tuesday, the festival said the nomination of the men who made "Raising Arizona," ''Fargo" and "Barton Fink" — which won the prestigious Palme d'Or — is part of its celebration of all "cinema brothers."
The Coen brothers will lead the jury that decides this year's winners of the European equivalent of the Oscars, which run from May 13-24.
The American Film Market is coming back to Los Angeles for its 46th edition (November 11-16, 2025). Last year’s AFM® detoured to Las Vegas but now the event will return to L.A., shifting from its former Santa Monica roost to a new venue--the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, ideally situated just minutes from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Westwood, and next door to the AMC Century City 15 for screenings.
In the aftermath of the recent devastating fires in the L.A. area, the decision to again hold AFM in Southern California takes on an added significance. The business generated by the event can contribute to the economy of a city (where AFM started) that is a vital hub of the industry.
Over the decades, AFM has evolved from solely a transactional space into an essential event where industry leaders come together to launch the latest films and projects, assess the marketplace, share insights, and stay abreast of the rapid changes shaping the business.
Details about exhibition opportunities, registration, and the event’s agenda will be available shortly.
