Festival de Cannes 2026 : Official Selection titles return to Pathé cinemas

The Pathé cinemas have decided to roll out the red carpet for the Cannes Film Festival 2026. As the festival’s 79th edition unfolds on the Croisette from May 12 to 23, the Pathé cinemas are once again offering, for the 13th year running, three festive days in the colors of the official Cannes selection, from May 22 to 24, 2026.

The program features around ten films shown (almost) at the same time as the festival-goers, and this months ahead of their wide release. To enjoy it in Paris and in Ile-de-France, head to the cinema Pathé Palace and the cinema Pathé Boulogne! Among the titles on offer, Parisian festival-goers will surely be able to catch the Palme d'Or 2026 in advance!

On the UGC cinemas front, although the official announcement hasn’t been made yet, the festivities are set to take place, as usual, in three Paris and Île-de-France venues: the UGC Ciné Cité Les Halles, the UGC Gobelins, and the UGC Ciné Cité Parly in Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt, Yvelines. Once again, it will be the official competition titles that will be screened as premieres.
