Courtesy of Warner Bros. The 2026 Cannes Classics lineup will open with a 4K restoration of Guillermo del Toro‘s “Pan’s Labyrinth,” set as the festival’s pre-opening screening on May 12 in the Debussy Theater – two decades after the fantasy film earned what remains the longest standing ovation in Cannes history, clocking in at 22 minutes. Del Toro, who personally supervised every stage of the new restoration from the original 35mm negative, will attend.
The full program, comprising 21 restored features, three short films, six documentaries and two contemporary works, will be dedicated to the memory of production designer Dean Tavoularis. Screenings will take place in the Buñuel Theater, the Agnès Varda Theater and at the Cinéma de la Plage.
