In this instalment of Screen’s Cannes Close-Up interview series, Spanish producer Valérie Delpierre - whose credits with Inicia Films include 20,000 Species Of Bees - reveals the countries she’s keen to work with and her best tip for newcomers. 

Delpierre is here with the festival’s Producers Network and Spain’s ICEX. “It’s a way to be in Cannes and not be lost in the middle of so many people, so many contacts and, in a way, it drives us to meet each other and network,” she says of the network.

The producer also recommends coming with a delegation “because you don’t feel so alone and you have some colleagues you can speak with and they can give you some recommendations”.

Cannes Close-Up sees leading figures from the international film industry give their inside insight into their careers and navigating the Cannes Film Festival, with interviews set to run throughout the event.

This edition of Cannes Close-Up is sponsored by the Spanish Trade Commission ICEX.
