The Screen Podcast has officially announced its transition to a daily broadcast schedule specifically for the duration of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. Starting from the festival's opening day, listeners will receive 24-hour updates featuring reviews of the most anticipated films in the Official Selection and the Un Certain Regard categories. This move is designed to provide real-time critical analysis and "on the ground" atmosphere for industry professionals and cinephiles who cannot attend the event in person. 

Each daily episode will feature a rotating panel of veteran film critics and Screen International correspondents, offering a blend of artistic critique and industry news. Beyond film reviews, the podcast will delve into the "business of film," discussing major distribution deals, market trends at the Marché du Film, and the reception of high-profile premieres. Special segments are also expected to include interviews with directors, producers, and the talent behind the year's buzziest titles as they walk the famous red carpet. 

The shift to a daily format reflects the increasing demand for immediate digital content during major global cultural events. By providing rapid-fire insights, the podcast aims to capture the evolving narrative of the festival as it unfolds, from early awards frontrunners to unexpected controversies. Fans can access these daily briefings across all major streaming platforms, ensuring that the 2026 Cannes conversation remains accessible to a global audience throughout the 12-day cinematic marathon.
