The composers in the spotlight of this 77th edition
This year again, the society of authors, composers and music publishers (SACEM) is present at the Cannes Film Festival to support and highlight the greatest cinema composers.
If many of them – such as Alexandre Desplat, Benjamin Biolay or Amine Bouhafa – will be present on the Croisette to represent films in competition, SACEM has also planned several events dedicated to these brilliant cinema artisans who thrill moviegoers .

A program without a false note
To highlight composers and their work, SACEM is organizing several events at the heart of the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Nature, date, time… We tell you everything about the progress of these public events not to be missed!
Proudly led by Philippe Rombi, famous for his collaborations with François Ozon, Yann Samuell and Agnès Jaoui, the composers present at this 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will take the steps on May 19 during the first gala session. The opportunity for festival-goers to see their favorite artists and to support the work of the musicians.
For a more in-depth approach, the initiative “Spot the composer” allows you to attend meetings with the greatest directors and producers, led by composers between May 18 and 20. Fascinating exchanges between professionals, accessible to all.
This year, the meetings will be led by Romain Allender (The Shape of Water), Amaury Chabauty (Teddy), Florencia di Concilio (The Five Devils), Jérôme Lemonnier (The Page Turner), Lydia Ainsworth (Stranger Things), Jina Hyojin An (Where the Crawfish Sing), Alicia Morote (Madres Paralelas), Blair Mowat (Nolly), Allyson Newman (First Day) and Karl Sölve Steven (Bookworm).
On May 20, a music lunch will be given at 1 p.m. on Palmes Beach, followed by a Music lesson at 4:30 p.m. Organized in the Buñuel room of the Palais des Festivals, this masterclass will be given by the composer Philippe Rombi and the director François Ozon to celebrate 25 years of their first collaboration on Criminal Lovers. Since then, composer and director have worked together on no less than 13 projects, including Sous le Sable, Potiche and Mon crime.
