How To Watch The Cannes Film Festival Lineup Announcement Live

The 2026 Cannes Film Festival is set to be announced tomorrow morning at a press conference featuring Festival Director Thierry Frémaux. 

The press conference will begin tomorrow at 11 am CET (2 am PT). You can watch the announcement live below. 

Pierre Salvadori’s The Electric Kiss (La Vénus électrique) has already been announced as the opening title. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th-century Paris art world, the period drama stars Pio Marmaï, Anaïs Demoustier, Gilles Lellouche, and Vimala Pons.

John Travolta‘s directorial debut, Propeller One-Way, will also screen at the festival before its May 29 launch on Apple TV. 

The under-the-radar Apple Original Films project is inspired by the 1997 kids’ book of the same name that Travolta wrote for his son. The mid-length film, whose cast includes his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta, charts a nostalgic journey set in the golden age of aviation: “Young airplane enthusiast Jeff (played by newcomer Clark Shotwell) and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett) set off on a one-way cross-country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime. Between airline meals, charming flight attendants (played by Ella Bleu Travolta and Olga Hoffmann), unexpected stopovers, larger-than-life passengers, and a thrilling glimpse at first class, the journey unfolds in moments both magical and unexpected, charting the course for the boy’s future.”

Propeller One-Way will play in the festival’s Premiere Selection in the Debussy Theater at the Palais des Festivals, with Travolta in attendance. 

Cannes runs from May 12 to 23.
