My Cannes 2026 Agenda — Where to Find Me

The 79th Festival de Cannes opens May 12. A personal agenda covering where to find Akoroko at the festival — from Africa Industry Day at the Marché to the Pavillon Afronova, a China Film Foundation panel, and the films in Un Certain Regard and Directors' Fortnight.

My Cannes 2026 Agenda — Where to Find Me

The 79th Festival de Cannes opens in two days, on May 12. I previewed the festival's African slate on April 15 and the Marché's African conference presence on April 20. This one is the personal agenda, capturing where I'll be, what I'll likely cover, and how to find me. I am there from the 13th through the 18th — a shorter trip, unlike last year when I was there for 10 days. Feel free to say hello if you spot me in the wild.
