Very Early Cannes 2026 Winner Predictions Post!

I'm going to do a long rambling thought and predictions on who I think will be winning awards at Cannes! I love Cannes, I wish I could go. I've been spending time watching movies from the directors of the festival and here are my thoughts. I'll be going to TIFF this year on a big trip and then some local film fests to me in Baltimore (Philadelphia, Virginia, AFI Silver's stuff in DC, New Next and MdFF in Baltimore) so I like to keep an eye on Cannes for those. I hope I articulated it all well..

The AI Doc and the Shadow of Jacques Ellul

The AI Doc is an interesting film that presents the perspectives of AI advocates and detractors alike.  Interviewing many of the major CEOs it concludes not with a prophecy but a warning, contained within a message of hope. Much of the film is quite shocking, not because of the information revealed but the ignorance displayed.    Both sides seem to agree that AI posses an ‘existential risk’ but that it is ‘also something that can potentially solve all our problems if used responsibly.’   [Ove
