The world’s most prestigious, debated and disruptive creative work — direct from Cannes to a cinema near you!
Event overview
Cannes Download is back, following a sold-out season in 2025.
This year’s reel is curated by Micah Walker, Founder/CCO at Bear Meets Eagle On Fire & 2026 Cannes Film Juror, and produced by Prodigious — 60 minutes of the work that had the industry talking, arguing, and taking notes in Cannes, on the big screen where it belongs.
Alongside the reel, each city hosts a live panel featuring Australian Cannes Lions Jurors and the Australian Young Lions team. Expect unfiltered intel from the jury room, the festival floor, and the global competition stage.
WHO'S IT FOR
Creatives, strategists, marketers, in-house teams, content creators, and more.
