Cannes Film Festival Adds 16 New Titles To 2025 Selection

The Cannes Film Festival has added 16 titles to its 78th edition, including Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love and Saeed Roustaee’s Mother And Child which will play in the main competition.

There are four additions to Un Certain Regard including Kristen Stewart’s directorial feature debut The Chronology of Water, adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s best-selling 2011 memoir of the same name.

The new Un Certain Regard titles also include Portuguese director Pedro Pinho’s timely three-and-a-half hour drama I Only Rest In The Storm exploring ideas of colonialism and white saviorism.

The Cannes Premiere section has added Filipino director Lav Diaz’s Magellan starring Gael García Bernal as 16th Century Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, and Icelandic director Hlynur Pálmason’s upcoming feature The Love That Remains, his latest work after Oscar-shortlisted work Godland.

In Midnight Screenings, Ethan Coen will debut detective comedy Honey Don’t starring Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Charlie Day, and Billy Eichner.

The Special Screening additions include animated features Arco, featuring Natalie Portman as a member of the English voice cast as well as a producer, and Little Amélie. Both will debut as special screenings.

Further additions to the Special Screenings line-up include actress Josephine Japy’s feature directorial debut The Wonderers starring Mélanie Laurent.

The 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival unfolds from May 13 to May 24.
