Three Japanese directors selected for Cannes Film Festival competition
三位日本導演入選坎城影展競賽單元
The 79th Cannes Film Festival, held in May 2026, marks a historic moment for Japanese cinema.
第79屆坎城影展於2026年5月舉行，這是日本電影史上的重要時刻。
For the first time in 25 years, three Japanese directors are competing for the prestigious Palme d’Or.
這是25年來首次有三位日本導演角逐最具聲望的金棕櫚獎。
The selected filmmakers are Hirokazu Kore-eda with his sci-fi drama Sheep in the Box, Ryusuke Hamaguchi with his international co-production All of a Sudden, and Koji Fukada with his film Nagi Notes.
獲選的影人包括是枝裕和（Hirokazu Kore-eda）以科幻劇作《箱中之羊》（Sheep in the Box）參賽，濱口龍介（Ryusuke Hamaguchi）以跨國合製電影《突如其來》（All of a Sudden）入選，以及深田晃司（Koji Fukada）的作品《凪之筆記》（Nagi Notes）。
This milestone recalls the year 2001, when three Japanese films last vied for the top prize simultaneously.
此一里程碑讓人回想起2001年，當年亦有三部日本電影同時爭奪最高榮譽。
Beyond these three, Japan has been named the Country of Honour for the Marché du Film, leading to industry summits and a global showcase of Japanese creativity.
除了這三位導演之外，日本還被坎城電影市場（Marché du Film）推選為主題國（Country of Honour），促成了多場產業峰會及日本創意的全球展現。
Other notable directors like Yukiko Sode and Kiyoshi Kurosawa also have films appearing in different categories, further cementing Japan's influence on the global stage.
其他如岨由美子（Yukiko Sode）與黑澤清（Kiyoshi Kurosawa）等知名導演的作品也在其他單元中放映，進一步鞏固了日本在全球影壇的影響力。
With an auteur-heavy selection this year, Cannes 2026 highlights the ongoing international acclaim of Japan’s most talented storytellers.
隨著今年影展選片側重於作者電影，2026年坎城影展凸顯了日本頂尖說書人持續獲得國際盛讚的成就。
