Cannes has gone a little topsy-turvy, eschewing its standard roll-out of announcements in favour a less organised approach.

Cannes’ media announcements normally follow a pattern adopted by several other festivals around the world, announce the head of the jury/juries, tease out/leak a couple of much-anticipated titles, announce the remainder of the jurors and roll out the competition line-ups, sprinkling into the mix the occasional out-of-competition title. Then announce a couple of late in-competition films.
