On the square facing Malmaison there is a large tented space that serves as a reception area for the public and for accredited professionals. This area includes ticket sales counters, accreditation services, as well as the Directors’ Fortnight shop. Other spaces are reserved for filmmakers, as a relaxation and info access area, and for daily Q & A sessions with the public.

The Q&A sessions are held in a tent that is accessible from the Croisette. These sessions are held after 9h, 11h and 14h screenings and are open to all. The sessions are chaired by the artistic director and/or members of the selection committee. They give filmmakers and the production team an opportunity to get initial audience feedback on their films.
