Cannes Wish List: 30 Movies We Hope Make the Cut in 2024:

The entire film industry is soon to descend upon the Côte d’Azur this May as the Cannes Film Festival readies for its 77th edition. From May 14 through May 25, the iconic festival event of the year will host much-awaited new works for auteurs and rising directors alike, across sections like the Competition, Directors’ Fortnight, Un Certain Regard (with jury president Xavier Dolan), and Critics’ Week. Major prizes will come at the end of the festival, and will no doubt set the tone for the movie year ahead.

Such was the case last year when Justine Triet’s eventual Oscar winner “Anatomy of a Fall” took home the top award, the Palme d’Or, the fourth consecutive film distributed by Neon to do so. Jonathan Glazer’s 2023 Grand Prize winner “The Zone of Interest” also won two Academy Awards, while Competition entries “Perfect Days” and “May December” earned Oscar nominations, too. Other Cannes winners like “La Chimera” and “Fallen Leaves” also factored into the awards conversation last fall.

Culling inside knowledge, production timelines, and reasonable plausibility for certain upcoming films to make their premieres at Cannes, we at IndieWire have rounded up the 30 titles we hope make the cut at this year’s edition.
