Avedon (2026), directed by Ron Howard, will have its premiere as a Special Screening within the Official Selection at the 79th Festival de Cannes in the South of France. Produced by Imagine Entertainment and Fifth Season in association with the Richard Avedon Foundation, the film traces the life and legacy of Richard Avedon, who used photography to reinvent the world around him. Drawing on unprecedented access to the artist’s personal archives—never-before-seen stills, intimate behind-the-lens footage, and new interviews with his closest collaborators—Avedon explores how the renowned photographer’s singular eye both reflected and reshaped the visual language of the twentieth century, and why even the most iconic image is only half the story.
