The 80th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will take place from Tuesday, May 11 to Saturday, May 22 in 2027.
No dates have yet been confirmed for the 2027 Marché du Film, which ran alongside the first nine days of the festival in 2026.
The festival will take place a few weeks after the 2027 French presidential election, the dates of which are yet to be confirmed.
The 2027 festival will be a key anniversary edition for Cannes, which was founded in 1946 and was cancelled in 1948 and 1950 for budgetary reasons.
Films selected for the 2027 edition will be announced in April next year. Speculation has already begun for titles that could be in contention, with new films on the way from leading directors including Ruben Ostlund (The Entertainment System Is Down), Justine Triet (Fonda), Alice Rohrwacher (Three Incestuous Sisters) and Alexander Payne (Somewhere Out There).
Cristian Mungiu’s Fjord won the Palme d’Or at the 2026 festival, with prizes also awarded to Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Minotaur, Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi’s The Black Ball, Pawel Pawlikowski’s Fatherland and Valeska Grisebach’s The Dreamed Adventure.
