Be among the first in the world to see these nine new films that have joined the program direct from Cannes.

All Of A Sudden
The first dual winner of the Best Actress Award at Cannes, this sprawling, emotional epic by Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car, SFF 2021) stars Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto as two women who form a life-altering friendship.
The Black Ball
Winner, Best Director, Cannes. This stirring, decades-spanning exploration of queer desire in Spain is one of the most exuberant, sensual and dazzling films of the year, featuring Penelope Cruz, Glenn Close and Julio Torres.
Congo Boy
Winner, Best Actor Award, Cannes Un Certain Regard. This stirring, autobiographical drama follows a Congolese teen chasing his music dreams while juggling family pressure, exams and political unrest.
Coward
Winner of the Cannes Best Actor Award, the new film by Sydney Film Prize winner Lukas Dhont (Close, SFF 2022) is an ambitious, moving queer romance about two soldiers during World War I.
Jim Queen
When Parisian gay gym-queen-supreme Jim contracts a virus that will turn him and others straight, his only hope for a cure is a shy fanboy twink. A hilariously camp, animated, musical romp direct from Cannes.
Documentary
The Match
The legendary 1986 FIFA World Cup game between Argentina and England – featuring Maradona’s infamous ‘Hand of God’ goal and played in the shadow of the Falklands War – is the centre of this thrilling, joyous Cannes-selected documentary.
Paper Tiger
Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller are terrific in James Gray’s electrifying, Cannes-selected crime thriller set in 1980s New York, that sees a suburban family get involved with the Russian mob.
Red Rocks
Inventive auteur Bruno Dumont returns with this strikingly stripped-back, seaside tale of rival kinder-aged posses running wild in the French Riviera. Directors’ Fortnight, Cannes.
Tangles
Direct from Cannes, Sarah Leavitt’s tender graphic memoir is beautifully adapted in this moving animation exploring the lived realities of Alzheimer’s disease. Voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Abbi Jacobson and Bryan Cranston.
