To mark the occasion the organisers of the French Film Festival UK and the Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival present two Cannes themed film programmes at the French Institute on Friday 16 May (Spanish) and Saturday 17 May 2025 (French) including showreels and introductions of what and who is hot on the Riviera as well as two feature films followed by a glass of rosé or two.

Catch previews of titles that may feature in the two Festivals later in the year. The 77th Cannes Film Festival runs from 13 to 24 May 2025.
