Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival is gearing up for a bumper 75th anniversary edition with a selection of big Hollywood names, buzzy newcomers and previous Palme d’Or winners—a splashy return even as the conflict in Ukraine looms over festivities.

After the 2020 Cannes Film Festival was canceled by the pandemic and the 2021 edition was scaled back—even kisses were forbade on the red carpet—the lavish French Riviera cinema soiree is set to return with a festival that promises to be something like normal.
