Cannes has topped up its Official Selection for the 2026 festival with a fresh round of titles for its 79th edition, adding James Gray’s Paper Tiger to the Competition line-up and Judith Godrèche’s A Girl’s Story to the Un Certain Regard sidebar.
Paper Tiger, a New York-set crime drama starring Adam Driver, Miles Teller and Scarlett Johansson, marks Gray’s sixth film in competition in Cannes.
