With boots on the ground in France and a local desk in Manila, PAGEONE Media is set to deliver real-time coverage of the 79th Festival de Cannes to Filipino audiences.
When the Palais des Festivals opens its doors to the world’s press this May, a Filipino correspondent will be among those moving through its corridors. PAGEONE Media, accredited to cover the 79th Festival de Cannes, is sending a three-person team to report on one of cinema’s most prominent international stages directly, and in real time, for Philippine audiences.
Leading the on-ground operation is Mr. Arne Gershwin Gogo, a Filipino casting industry professional assigned as the team’s primary correspondent throughout the festival, which runs from May 12 to 23, 2026, in Cannes, France.
Arne will attend official screenings, press briefings, and industry events across the festival’s 12-day run. His dispatches are expected to go beyond the spectacle — capturing the conversations at the margins, the talent drawing attention, and the creative currents running beneath the festival’s surface.
What distinguishes Arne’s assignment is the professional lens he brings to it. As someone working within the casting and creative industries, he approaches Cannes not as an outside observer but as a practitioner familiar with the mechanics of film, talent, and storytelling. For Filipino audiences, that translates into coverage with context.
Back in Manila, Mr. Khirby Serrano and Ms. Gen Asas will manage the local desk, handling the editorial flow of content coming in from the ground; live updates, red carpet reports, screening impressions, and industry notes, and shaping it for PAGEONE Media’s digital platforms and publications.
PAGEONE Media’s accreditation, granted by the Festival’s Press Office, provides the team official access to the full scope of the festival’s media programming, including screenings, press events, and the Festival’s online press platform. The accreditation is extended only to organizations covering film, culture, and the entertainment industry at an international level.
The 79th edition of the Festival de Cannes is expected to draw some of the most prominent figures in world cinema across its run. PAGEONE Media’s team will be reporting from it live.
