For the 79th Cannes Film Festival taking place this May, they have revealed an intriguing selection of very diverse international films, featuring new works from well-established filmmakers (they love them), as well as some newcomers getting their chance to shine on the Croisette. Cannes is continuing in its usual spot in mid-May, running from May 12th to 23rd, kicking things off a French film on opening night about a romance in the 1920s (called The Electric Kiss). Just over a month to go until the fest begins on the Mediterranean coast. The selection last year included many major highlights of 2025 cinema – such as Eddington, The Mastermind, Resurrection, Sirat, Sentimental Value, Exit 8, and many others.

Along with fresh films from fave filmmakers like Lukas Dhont (of Girl, Close), Léa Mysius (Ava, The Five Devils), Na Hong-jin (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, The Wailing), Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman). The current total is 60 films to watch. As usual, last minute additions will appear – many more have been added recently. Check the list of 2026 films below. // Continue Reading ›
