Your daily cup of entertainment to go

The 2026 Cannes Film Festival concluded with one of the most discussed Palme d'Or decisions in recent years, awarding its highest honor to Fjord, the latest feature from Romanian director Cristian Mungiu. The victory marks a significant milestone for the filmmaker, who returns to the top of world cinema nearly two decades after first claiming the Palme d'Or with 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.

Every May, the French Riviera transforms into the center of the film world, and in 2026 the tradition continues as the 79th Cannes Film Festival prepares to welcome filmmakers, actors, critics, and global media from across the globe. Scheduled to take place from May this year’s festival will be opened by The Electric Kiss, directed by French filmmaker Pierre Salvadori, setting the tone for nearly two weeks of premieres, press screenings, and red-carpet events.
