Tribute highlights Antoni Lallican’s legacy in war reporting and visual journalism
The 2026 Cannes Film Festival has dedicated part of its official selection to French photojournalist Antoni Lallican, honoring his work after he was killed in a Russian drone strike while covering the war in Ukraine. Lallican died in October 2025 near Druzhkivka in the Donetsk region when an FPV drone struck his location while he was embedded with Ukrainian forces. Known for documenting civilian life in conflict zones, his work appeared in major international outlets. The tribute recognizes growing dangers for journalists in Ukraine and frames his photography as a lasting historical record of the war’s human impact.
