France’s Fifth Annual Marseille Web Fest Will Take Place On October 9 And 10

The Marseille Web Fest is back for a fifth year of celebrating digital productions. The France-based web series festival, the biggest international event of its kind in Europe, will take place on October 9 and 10 at the Théâtre de la Joliette.

Over the course of two days, the Marseille Web Fest will screen a roster of 25 digital series to audiences who attend the festival. Among the titles showing at the fifth annual event are Ridley Scott’s Halo Nightfall series and Looking for Maman by actor Jonathan Lambert. These 25 web series, hailing from ten different countries, will compete for the chance to win eight awards from a jury of judges led by Jean-Pierre Dionnet. French SVOD Canalplay and Canadian digital production company TreeCircle Media will present the Coup de Coeur and Innovation Prizes, respectively.

Additionally, the 2015 Marseille Web Fest will feature events and programming for attendees to learn more about the digital series industry. Festival-goers can meet and talk with a variety of international talent, from media companies to audio-visual artists. Attendees will also have the opportunity to attend news conferences or participate first-hand in the making of new digital content.
