MINOTAUR Les Marches Cannes video

Festival de Cannes posted a YouTube video on May 20 titled “MINOTAURE - Les Marches - VO - Cannes 2026,” adding the film’s red-carpet arrival to its rolling archive of official festival footage. The clip sits within the festival’s broader 2026 video coverage of premieres, photocalls and press conferences on the Croisette. The video description identifies the event as “la montée des marches” of the team behind *Minotaure*, directed by Andreï Zviaguintsev, and says the film is in competition at Cannes. ### What does “Les Marches” mean in this Cannes context? The phrase “Les Marches” refers to the ceremonial staircase at the Palais des Festivals, the Cannes venue whose red-carpet steps are among the festival’s most recognizable images. In festival usage, “montée des marches” is the formal ascent by a film’s cast and crew before a screening. The title of the YouTube upload matches that house style used across the festival’s official channel for premiere-arrival videos. (youtube.com) Festival de Cannes has used the same label on other 2026 uploads, including “HOPE - Les Marches - VO - Cannes 2026” and “EL SER QUERIDO - Les Marches - VO - Cannes 2026.” That pattern indicates the *Minotaure* clip is part of the festival’s standard event documentation rather than a trailer or excerpt from the film itself. ### Which film is the video attached to? *Minotaur (Minotaure)* is listed by Festival de Cannes as a 2026 Competition title from director Andreï Zviaguintsev. (youtube.com) The festival’s film page says the story is set in Russia in 2022 and follows Gleb, a businessman whose life turns violent as professional pressures mount in an unstable world. A separate Cannes news item published on May 20 said Zviaguintsev returned to Competition with *Minotaur* after previously serving on the feature-film jury in 2018. (youtube.com) The festival article said the film addresses the war in Ukraine as background and follows a Russian middle-class family made up of Gleb, Galina and their son.

The posting appears on the Festival de Cannes YouTube channel, and the description says it shows the *Minotaure* team on the steps for the festival. Search results for the video reproduce that description and identify the film as directed by Andreï Zviaguintsev and screening in competition. (festival-cannes.com) The upload also fits the festival’s multilingual publishing pattern. The “VO” in the title denotes the original-language version, and the festival has grouped similar “Les Marches” clips into 2026 playlists on YouTube. ### What other official Cannes material is already online for this film? Festival de Cannes has published several adjacent assets for *Minotaur* besides the “Les Marches” clip. (youtube.com) The festival media library includes a “Rang I” video for the film, a photocall entry published on May 20 and a press-conference page also published on May 20. (youtube.com) The festival’s live-stream schedule also shows how these pieces fit into its daily coverage system, with separate slots for photocalls, press conferences, “Marches” arrivals and “Rang I” theater seating footage. That structure explains why the *Minotaure* upload appears as one item in a larger sequence of official event videos rather than as a standalone promotional campaign.

The Festival de Cannes YouTube channel is carrying the 2026 live feed and posting film-specific clips as events happen during the May 12-23 festival window. The official festival site also hosts the *Minotaur* film page and related media-library entries for the photocall, press conference and “Rang I” footage. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2)
