Cannes Film Festival 2026 marked a first for NOVA: the platform's debut event bringing its community of filmmakers and creatives together on the ground at one of the industry's biggest stages.

The Night

NOVA hosted an afterparty at The Majestic featuring Hank Korsan, presented by Rendezvous Films and sponsored by Kodak. The event pulled together filmmakers from the festival alongside the wider network of creatives working across productions worldwide, all in one room for a night built around the community rather than just the red carpet.

Behind the Event

Event production came from Let's Parti, with photography from Lindy Lin and Riccardo Vincenzi capturing the night.
