    Nominees named for the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician at the Cannes Film Festival

    Production designers Esther Mysius (l) and Livia Lattanzio, nominees for this year's CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician at the Cannes Film Festival

    In light of the under-representation of women in technical roles within the French film industry, the Higher Technical Committee for Image and Sound (CST) will, for the sixth year running, present the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician at the Cannes Film Festival.

    The figures from 2026 highlight the need to promote and support young female technicians.

    Of the 75 technical roles in French films in the official selection, only 18 are held by women. Of these, 16 are over 40 years old, and only 2 are under 40, representing barely 3% of all the roles analyzed.

    The CST congratulates the two nominees for the CST Award for Young Female Technician Award at the 79th Festival de Cannes, who are:

    • Livia Lattanzio – Production designer for the film Les Matins merveilleux by Avril Besson (Special Screening)
    • Esther Mysius – Production designer for the film Histoires de la nuit by Léa Mysius (in Competition)

    Promoting young female technicians today helps shape a more inclusive, representative and diverse cinema for tomorrow.

    Created on the initiative of Claudine Nougaret and Angelo Cosimano in 2021, the CST Award for Best Young Female Film Technician is supported this year by photographer Sarah Moon.

    The jury comprises Michel Boujenah, actor and director, and Sylvia Landra, chief editor.

    The winner of this sixth edition will be announced on May 23.

    The CST was the first ever association of film and audio-visual technicians in France. It was founded in 1944 to promote technicians’ work and the quality of the end product for spectators.
