    Cannes Film Festival’s Auteur-Heavy Lineup Features Films by Almodovar, Pawlikowski and Hamaguchi

    Thursday, April 9, 2026

    New films by Polish filmmaker Paweł Pawlikowski, Japanese writer-director Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Spain's Pedro Almodovar will premiere at the 79th Cannes Film Festival next month.

    Organizers for the South of France festival, which runs May 12-23, laid out a lineup heavy on big-name international auteurs at a news conference Thursday in Paris.

In the Un Certain Regard sidebar, Jane Schoenbrun will unveil their follow-up to 2014's "I Saw the TV Glow": "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma," about the making of a slasher movie. It stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson.

    Previous Palme d'Or winners will be represented
    A number of former Palme winners are in the mix. That includes Romanian auteur Cristian Mungiu's Norway-set "Fjord," starring the recently Oscar-nominated Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan. Mungiu's "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" won the Palme in 2007.

    Also returning is Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda, whose 2018 drama... Read More
