The Cannes Film Festival 2026 lineup is taking shape in front of the world’s eyes in Paris on Thursday. Artistic director Thierry Fremaux, with president Iris Knobloch by his side, is unveiling the official selection, the popular Un Certain Regard sidebar and other parts of the program for the 79th edition of the world’s biggest film festival during a press conference in the French capital.
Last week, Cannes unveiled that its 2026 edition would open with Pierre Salvadori’s 1920s-set La Vénus électrique (The Electric Kiss) on May 12, following the opening ceremony hosted by actress Eye Haïdara. It also unveiled the world premiere of John Travolta’s directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, in the Cannes Premiere Selection.
