Rising star Jaz Sinclair (Gen V) will be honored as International Rising Star.

The beloved cast of Little House on the Prairie will reunite to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary.

The team behind the French hit series Un si Grand Soleil will meet fans during a special session.



Premieres and Exclusive Events


One of the major highlights will be the world premiere of Watson, a CBS Studios production, presented by actor Morris Chestnut and showrunner Craig Sweeny. Several other series will also be previewed, followed by Q&A sessions with their creators.

“Behind the Scenes” events will offer attendees a rare look at the creative process behind some of the most successful shows.



The Official Competition


At the heart of the festival is the prestigious Golden Nymph Awards, which will honor the best in Fiction, News and Documentaries. The Prince Rainier III Special Prize will recognize a production focusing on environmental preservation.

The closing ceremony on June 17 will unveil the winners and end the festival with a dazzling gala evening.
