From May 13–24, the 78th Cannes Film Festival brings together veteran auteurs like Wes Anderson and breakout talents such as Ari Aster, alongside Hollywood heavyweights—from Tom Cruise to Emma Stone—on a red carpet primed for glamour and cinematic competition.
This year’s Cannes Film Festival kicks off on May 13 and runs through May 24, promising a dynamic mix of established filmmakers and rising art-house directors. Wes Anderson returns with his signature visual flair, while Ari Aster makes his Cannes debut in fierce competition. Both veterans and newcomers will vie for the coveted Palme d’Or as industry luminaries and global stars converge on the Croisette.
A-list actors are out in force: Tom Cruise brings his latest blockbuster, Pedro Pascal and Joaquin Phoenix headline powerful dramas, and Kristen Stewart and Scarlett Johansson showcase new roles that blend indie grit with mainstream appeal. Emma Stone, Paul Mescal, Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lawrence, Austin Butler, A$AP Rocky, Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Margaret Qualley round out a red-carpet roster that spans genres and generations.
Behind the camera, directors Richard Linklater, Joachim Trier, Julia Ducournau and Belgium’s renowned Dardenne brothers will challenge audiences with provocative narratives and bold storytelling. Their films are set against the backdrop of Cannes’ storied premieres, where art-house innovation meets festival spectacle.
French icon Juliette Binoche will preside as jury president, bringing decades of Cannes experience to guide deliberations. Under her leadership, the jury will evaluate 19 competition films to determine this year’s Palme d’Or winner and other awards, celebrating excellence in global cinema.
