The Cannes Film Festival is one of the world’s most influential cinema events. Each spring, the Croisette becomes a meeting place for artistic creation, industry, criticism and the international circulation of films.
A global stage for cinema
The Official Selection, Competition, Un Certain Regard, special screenings and restored classics provide a demanding view of contemporary cinema and its history. The Palme d’Or remains one of the sector’s most recognised awards.
A professional ecosystem
The Marché du Film brings together producers, distributors, sales agents, institutions and media. Cannes operates simultaneously as an artistic festival, an economic platform and a space for cultural diplomacy.
2026 edition
The 79th edition runs from 12 to 23 May 2026, supporting new voices and the diversity of world cinema.
