The 2025 Cannes Film Festival ends
Clap End for this 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. After a dozen days when the cinema was rediscovered, celebrated, debated, where it was often surprising, more rarely disappointing but still alive and fascinating, the hour of the competition ranking has arrived. A fair, balanced and very political record since the jury chaired by Juliette binoche distinguished films on very current, collective and intimate issues.
There was really in this edition of Audacity 2025, everywhere, and the surprising and stunning compromised cinema to enlarge the seventh art. Resurrection From Bi Gan, a phantasmagoric film about cinema as the transcendence of human experience, was therefore the first recipient of the evening, distinct from a special prize for his formidable artistic effort. Another film with a very precious, fallible but extraordinary visual identity in its highlights, Alpha From Julia Ducournau, who had won the Palme d’Or in 2021 titanium, he left him rigid.
This year, the world had to be said as close as possible. His suffering, his hopes, his moving resilience and the decidedly new aspect of his youth. There was therefore a new and coherent generation of competition filmmakers, who shot the game.

Staging price
