The official poster for the 2026 edition of the Cannes Film Festival pays tribute to Thelma & Louise.
Ridley Scott’s feminist classic premiered at Cannes 35 years ago on May 20, 1991.
The poster sees the film’s stars Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon on set, with the photo taken by Roland Neveu.
In a statement the festival said: “These two unforgettable fighters turned the tables and shattered a few gender stereotypes, both societal and cinematic; they embodied absolute freedom and unwavering friendship; they showed the way to emancipation when it becomes vital. Remembering this today means celebrating the road already covered, without overlooking what still remains ahead.”
The Cannes Film Festival unveiled the majority of its lineup earlier this month, with Pierre Salvadori’s The Electric Kiss opening the festival. it runs May 12-23.
