Shoot the Book Jury for Marché du Film 2024
Shoot the Book! is an initiative designed to turn top literary works into films — all through a lively two-day event in Cannes!
This year's jury will be composed by Jacques Henry Bronckart, André Dupuy, Edward Noeltner, Jérôme Rougier, Wei-Ching Su and Gabriela Bussmann.
Initiated by SCELF (Civil Society of French-Language Publishers) and the Marché du Film — Shoot the Book! presents each year a curated selection of books ripe for screen adaptation.
The program invites publishers to attend the event in Cannes, providing a platform for them to connect with international producers who are keen on adapting the latest and hottest IPs in literature.
For film producers, Shoot the Book! offers a unique opportunity to discover fresh literary film projects and spark new collaborations through its main events: Pitching Session, Rendez-Vous (one-to-one meetings) and an annual Masterclass to identify the latest practices, trends and major players in the audiovisual rights markets.
The key dates for Shoot the Book! 2024 are 16 May (Masterclass, Pitching Session) and 17 May (Rendez-Vous).
