Excitement is high as the Cannes Film Festival is set to return with a highly anticipated edition that is sure to mark with it the grand return of arthouse cinema, international storytelling and glitzy premieres on the Croisette. The cancellation of last year’s edition due to COVID-19 has undoubtedly left the festival programmers with a wealth of films to pick from – so which films could make the cut?

The 74th Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to take place from July 6 to 17, 2021 with Academy Award winning American director Spike Lee as the President of the Jury.
