Bringing a flash of neon colour to the 79th Cannes Film Festival this year, Greek director Konstantina Kotzamani’s feature debut Titanic Ocean premiered in Un Certain Regard at the festival. Inspired by the Japanese aquarium industry and the Greek myth of the sirens, Kotzamani builds a romantic yet melancholy world of beautiful mermaids, exploring feminine power and girlhood through a modern fairy tale. At Cannes, I had the privilege of speaking with Konstantina Kotzamani about her latest film that was ten years in the making. ScreenAnarchy: How did the film come about?  Konstantina Kotzamani: I was in Argentina writing a script for another feature film. While I was drinking my morning coffee, an article about five Japanese girls with silicon mermaid tails popped up on... [Read the whole post on screenanarchy.com...]

Who would've thought that a truck drivers gay romance film would end up being one of my favorites at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival? You never know which films will be any good until see them and they win you over. At last year's Cannes, Norwegian director Joachim Trier (director of Sentimental Value) proclaimed that "tenderness is the new punk." This slogan took off big time and cinema lovers the world over have been repeating it as a reminder that being tender and earnest and vulnerable and loving is actually a (really) good thing. And we need more cinema that is tender and embraces tenderness instead of all the ugliness out there right now. Flesh and Fuel is a beautiful new film that continues this "tenderness" trend and carries that humble belief into 2026 in the best of ways. Made by French filmmaker Pierre Le Gall, it's the story of two middle-aged truck drivers who fall in love on the road but struggle to keep their romance going as they drive around Europe far away from each other. So sweet and adorable and heartfelt – feel good cinema at its best. // Continue Reading ›
