Guillermo del Toro will jet into Cannes to attend the 20th anniversary screening of Pan’s Labyrinth, which has been announced as part of this year’s Cannes Classics line-up.
A 4K restored print of Del Toro’s fantasy fable set during the Franco regime in 1940s’s Spain, regarded by many as the Mexican filmmaker’s masterpiece, will be presented in a pre-opening screening on May 12.
The film remains part of Cannes folklore for the record 22-minute standing ovation and went on to garner Oscars for cinematography, art direction, and make-up. Cineverse holds North American rights.
The Cannes Classics line-up announced on Tuesday (May 5) presents 22 features, six documentaries, three shorts, and two contemporary works – Bérenger Thouin’s hybrid adventure The Golden Age (L’Age D’Or) that Films Boutique sells; and Jean-Gabriel Périot’s documentary A Life, A Manifesto (Une Vie Manifeste) about the film critic, aspiring director, and activist Michèle Firk.
The 2026 Cannes Classics is dedicated to the memory of production designer Dean Tavoularis.
