Cannes Download is returning, following a sold-out season in 2025. This year’s reel is curated by Micah Walker, founder & chief creative officer at Bear Meets Eagle On Fire and 2026 Cannes Film juror. The 60-minute reel of the work that had the industry talking, arguing, and taking notes in Cannes, was produced by Prodigious to show on the big screen where it belongs.
Accompanying the reel is a live panel hosted in each city, featuring Australian Cannes Lions jurors and the Australian Young Lions team, offering unfiltered intel from the jury room, the festival floor, and the global competition stage.
