79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
The 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will take place from 12 to 23 May 2026.
Film industry professionals, international stars and up-and-coming actors mingle with the crowd eager for images and surprising encounters.
The Cannes Film Festival is the place to be for a fortnight, with its glitter, stars and rumours, as well as scandals and diplomatic affairs. Major events or small anecdotes sometimes take on disproportionate dimensions, and some facts have even built its legend.
The Cannes Festival has been celebrating cinema for over 77 years. Over the years, the French Association of the International Film Festival has been able to evolve while keeping the essential: the passion for cinema, the discovery of new talents, the enthusiasm of festival-goers and professionals from all over the world who come to contribute to the birth and distribution of films.
The Cannes Festival is committed to the environment!
