Cannes: Studiocanal Boards Jeanne Herry’s Palme D’Or Contender ‘Another Day’ & Unveils First Look

European film studio Studiocanal has officially joined the international sales team for Jeanne Herry's upcoming drama 'Another Day' (working title 'Garance'), a contender for the prestigious Palme d'Or competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, and unveiled the first promotional image of lead actress Adèle Exarchopoulos. The announcement was made in Paris on Thursday during the festival's traditional annual press conference, where the film was confirmed for selection in the main competition lineup. Studiocanal's involvement aims to bolster the film's global distribution prospects ahead of its anticipated world premiere on the Croisette. The film, directed by Herry who previously found critical success with 'In Safe Hands' ('Pupille'), features Exarchopoulos as a gifted young woman navigating a complex emotional journey. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the first-look image released by Studiocanal offers an early glimpse into the film's tone and the central performance. This strategic reveal is designed to generate significant industry buzz and audience anticipation nearly two years before the film's scheduled festival debut, highlighting the long-lead planning characteristic of major cinematic events. This move solidifies 'Another Day' as one of the first major titles officially confirmed for the 2026 Cannes competition, marking an early start to the festival's curation process. Studiocanal, a powerhouse in European production and distribution, will handle international sales outside of France, leveraging its extensive network to secure theatrical and platform deals worldwide. The selection underscores Cannes' continued commitment to showcasing auteur-driven French cinema and provides a substantial platform for Herry's evolving career and Exarchopoulos's return to the festival where she first gained global recognition after winning the Palme d'Or for 'Blue Is the Warmest Colour' in 2013.
