Cannes Film Festival 2026
Cinema's most prestigious and glamorous festival.
Cannes is where cinema meets the Côte d'Azur — a combination of artistic seriousness and Mediterranean glamour that no other festival replicates. The Palme d'Or remains the most coveted prize in cinema, while the Croisette provides the world's most photographed red carpet.
Why it matters
The festival that still defines global cinema — where a screening can launch a career and a party invitation can change a life.
