Wscripted’s 6th Cannes Screenplay List

Deadline: March 2, 2026

Applications are NOW OPEN for Wscripted’s 6th Cannes Screenplay List presented by MUBI. The Cannes Screenplay List is a prestigious annual list of top scripts by women and non-binary writers, launched during the Cannes Film Festival and presented by MUBI since 2021. The list was endorsed by A-list jurors such as Mounia Meddour (“Papicha”, “Houria”), Vanessa Kirby (“The Crown”, “Pieces of a Woman”, “Fantastic Four”), Nava Mau (“Baby Reindeer”), Fawzia Mirza (“The Queen of My Dreams”). Former nominees also joined the jury including Nathalie Marchak, whose feature “A Beautiful Journey” was nominated on the First Cannes Screenplay List and is set to star Shailene Woodley, and Erica Tremblay, whose feature “Fancy Dance” was nominated on the Second Cannes Screenplay List and later acquired by Apple TV. Over five editions, the list has highlighted 92 projects from many countries, giving producers and financiers a trusted place to find remarkable female-led stories. Women and non-binary screenwriters or writer-directors with a screenplay in English or French, are encouraged to apply.
