The 79th Cannes Film Festival is set to run from May 12-23, 2026.
The news comes less than three weeks after its 78th edition concluded, which saw Jafar Panahi’s "It Was Just An Accident" win the Palme d’Or, marking a celebrated in-person return to the festival for the Iranian filmmaker, who last attended Cannes 22 years ago.
The festival has not announced the dates for its market, which this year took place May 13-21 during the festival (May 13-23).
Other winners at the most recent edition included Joachim Trier’s "Sentimental Value", which took the Grand Prize, Kleber Mendonça Filho and Wagner Moura who won Best Director and Best Actor respectively for "The Secret Agent", Nadia Melliti who won Best Actress for "La Petite Dernière", and Jean-Pierrer and Luc Dardenne who both won Best Screenplay for "Young Mothers".
