It is extremely rare for a film to screen at the Director's Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. It is even more rare for a film to be scouted for international premiere at Cannes, the pinnacle of international prestige and artistic cinematography. Both have happened to Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026).

The film premiered at Cannes on May 18 where it received a four minute standing ovation.

Where do we go from here?

In Spring 2026, the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decimated the federal Voting Rights Act’s (VRA) ability to protect the voting rights of Black US citizens. They struck the near-fatal blow in Louisiana v. Callais, a redistricting challenge brought by white folks that challenged Louisiana’s recently redrawn congressional map. Please note that the redrawing occurred only after a court found that LA had failed to protect the voting rights of its Black voters, having created only one district where Black voters could elect the candidate of their choice.

State lawmakers passed a $268.5 Billion budget at the end of May, 8 weeks late. The budget was due April 1, but dueling policy priorities emanating from Gov. Hochul and state legislators led to intense negotiations.
Lawmakers blame Hochul for padding the budget with non-fiscal issues in a re-election year for her.
