The Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday revealed a fresh round of titles for the Official Selection of its 79th edition, including James Gray‘s Paper Tiger and Judith Godrèche’s A Girl’s Story. (Scroll down for the full list of additions.)

They join 60 titles unveiled at the festival’s traditional press conference in Paris on April 9, when the bulk of the selection was announced.

The confirmation of Paper Tiger in Official Selection ends days of speculation over whether the film was going to Cannes or not. The New York-set crime drama starring Adam Driver, Miles Teller and Scarlett Johansson will be Gray’s sixth film debuting Cannes, with the director last at the festival with Armageddon Time in 2022.

Werner Herzog’s Bucking Fastard starring Kate and Rooney Mara in their first joint onscreen appearance, alongside Orlando Bloom and Domhnall Gleeson, was not in the freshly announced titles.

Adapted from Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux’s autobiographical novel, A Girl’s Story is the debut feature of Godrèche, who rocked the French cinema world in 2024 with sexual abuse accusations against directors Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon.

Valérie Dréville, Tess Barthélémy, Maïwène Barthélémy and Anna Mouglalis lead the ensemble cast bringing Ernaux’s flashbacks to life as she reminisces during a book-signing trip that triggers memories of the pivotal summer of 1958.

Godrèche, who has been a regular guest in Cannes as an actress, hit the festival as a director in 2023 with short film Moi Aussi.

Further Cannes additions announced today include Zachary Wigon’s gothic horror-thriller Victorian Psycho, about a governess with hidden psychopathic tendencies, which will debut in Un Certain Regard. Maika Monroe, Jason Isaacs and Thomasin McKenzie star in the drama set in Victorian England and based on Virginia Feito’s eponymous novel.

The film is produced by Anton and Traffic in association with Anonymous Content. Bleecker Street took U.S. rights last summer.

Greek director Konstantina Kotzamani’s Titanic Ocean, coming-of-age tale set in a special boarding school in Japan that trains teenage girls into professional mermaids, will also debut in Un Certain Regard. Athens-based Homemade Films (To a Land Unknown, Arcadia) lead produces in co-production with Wunderlust, Defilm, Manny Films, Frida Films and Happinet Phantom Studios.

The new additions also include Olivier Clert’s Lucy Lost. Adapted from bestselling War Horse writer Michael Morpurgo’s 2014 novel Listen to the Moon, the film revolves around the titular figure of mysterious 11-year-old Lucy, whose ability to see visions no one else can see sparks suspicion in the quiet fishing village she calls home.

Below are the additions to the Cannes Film Festival, which runs May 12-May 23.
