Studiocanal Takes International Sales On Jeanne Herry's Cannes Competition Entry 'Another Day'

Studiocanal has boarded international sales for director Jeanne Herry's "Another Day" (original title: "Garance"), which was announced April 9, 2026 as a main competition selection at the Cannes Film Festival. The drama stars Adèle Exarchopoulos as a struggling Paris-based actress navigating addiction, fractured relationships, and a path toward recovery.

"Another Day" centers on Garance, a talented young actress living paycheck to paycheck in a small Paris apartment. The character struggles with alcohol addiction, anxiety, and a series of unfulfilling relationships that leave her feeling increasingly trapped. Two relationships offer her a potential lifeline: her devotion to her ill younger sister and a developing romance with Pauline, played by Sara Giraudeau. As these connections deepen, Garance confronts long-avoided personal struggles and begins a transformative journey toward self-renewal.

The film is produced by Alain Attal at Trésor Films and Hugo Sélignac at Chi-Fou-Mi Productions, whose recent collaboration included director Gilles Lellouche's "Beating Hearts," which became a box office success at Cannes. Studiocanal serves as co-producer and is handling international sales distribution.

Exarchopoulos brings significant credentials to the role. She won a César Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2024 for her ensemble performance in Herry's previous film "All Your Faces," which depicted violent crime victims and perpetrators meeting in a restorative justice dialogue group. That film's cast also included Leïla Bekhti, Elodie Bouchez, Gilles Lellouche, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, and Miou-Miou.

Context

Herry has established herself as a director focused on intimate character studies and social reconciliation themes. "All Your Faces" (2023) premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and earned critical recognition for its unflinching exploration of trauma and healing. The Cannes Film Festival main competition typically includes 22 films selected from thousands of submissions worldwide. The festival's Palme d'Or, awarded to the top prize winner, remains one of cinema's most prestigious honors.

Studiocanal, a major European production and distribution company, regularly handles international sales for Cannes competition entries. The company's involvement signals confidence in the film's commercial and critical potential across multiple territories.

What's Next

The Cannes Film Festival 2026 runs through May, with competition screenings and jury deliberations to follow the April 9 announcement of the full lineup. "Another Day" will compete for the Palme d'Or alongside other main competition selections. Studiocanal's sales efforts will determine which territories acquire distribution rights before and during the festival, a common practice that shapes the film's theatrical release schedule globally.
