If you’re interested in a career in the international motion picture, journalism, event management, business, marketing, hospitality, or culinary fields, consider complementing your school curriculum with hands-on experience, direct access to industry professionals, and unparalleled networking opportunities at either the world-renowned Cannes International Film Festival, or The American Pavilion’s popular L.A. Intensive.
Since 1989, The American Pavilion has been the heart of Hollywood’s presence at Cannes, and AmPav’s worldwide Student Programs have helped students launch their careers in these industries. As the only student program officially recognized and sanctioned by the Festival de Cannes and the Marché du Film, The American Pavilion Student Programs offer participants a unique and life-changing experience, and an up-close view of both the Festival and the Market.
And if you’re wondering whether a move to Hollywood should be in your future, AmPav’s L.A. Intensive is the perfect primer for anyone thinking of working in Southern California’s entertainment business. Come hear a representative of The American Pavilion discuss these programs and help you decide which might be right for you.
To give you a brief background, The American Pavilion is the de facto communications and hospitality hub for Americans attending the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival in France each May. As part of our presence there, AmPav offers business, film, media, communications, journalism, hospitality, event, and culinary students an unequaled front-row seat to the inner workings of this unique media event. Our student program is the only program officially recognized and sanctioned by the Festival, and you can learn more about it here.
