Pure vocal chemistry at its finest. Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb in their prime. An epic 80s ballad we rarely get anymore. 🎙️ 💖#BarbraStreisand #BarryGibb #ClassicDuet pic.twitter.com/YVZPu4s9hB

Hyderabad: The lineup for the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will be unveiled today, and film enthusiasts in India can tune in live to watch the big announcement. The Official Selection for Cannes 2026 will be revealed during a press conference led by Festival President Iris Knobloch and General Delegate Thierry Fremaux.
The announcement is scheduled to begin at 11 am CET, which translates to 2:30 pm IST for viewers in India. The livestream will be available on the festival’s official website as well as its verified social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. For Indian audiences eager to track which films make it to the prestigious selection, the online broadcast offers the easiest way to follow the reveal in real time.
The 79th Festival de Cannes itself will take place from May 12 to May 23, 2026, on the French Riviera. While the event remains primarily an industry gathering, global interest remains high every year, especially during the lineup announcement, which sets the tone for the festival season.
The festival has also announced special honours for two global cinema icons. Legendary singer-actor Barbra Streisand will receive an Honorary Palme d’Or at the closing ceremony on May 23. Filmmaker Peter Jackson will be honoured with the same award during the opening night, marking a major recognition for his contribution to large-scale filmmaking.
Beyond the lineup reveal, Cannes will offer extensive digital coverage throughout the festival. Red carpet arrivals, press conferences and interviews will be streamed online, making it easier for viewers in India to follow the event despite the geographical distance.
For those planning a deeper engagement, the festival also offers initiatives like “3 Days in Cannes” accreditation for young film enthusiasts, while the popular Cinema de la Plage screenings provide free open-air shows for the public in Cannes itself. For now, all eyes are on today’s announcement.
