Distribution Watch: Cannes 2024
Tracking which titles from Cannes have North American distribution
Last updated: April 20, 2024
Another year, another Cannes.
At the time of writing, we’re still awaiting the Director’s Fortnight, International Critics’ Week, and ACID programmes, along with any additional titles that get added to Cannes’ Official Selection. I’ll update here as they get announced, but you should bookmark the page as I won’t be sending out other emails as I update.
Titles in bold will have a North American distributor, which I’ll include with a source linked to the distributor’s name. I may announce updates on my Twitter account if you’re not following me there already.
And if I’m missing anything, please comment or reach out to let me know so the list can stay up to date.
