The 2025 Cannes Film Festival is set to shine a spotlight on the world's best films. The festival, happening from May 13 to May 24, 2025, is a key event for film lovers. It's a place where new films are born and where the best of the best are celebrated. The festival is a big deal for the Oscars too. Many films that win big at Cannes often go on to dominate the Oscars. Last year, the Palme d'Or winner, Anora, and the jury prize winner, Emilia Pérez, were big hits at the Oscars.

They see Cannes as the gold standard for cinematic excellence. This means more international films are getting the recognition they deserve. The festival is all about discovering new talent and celebrating the best in world cinema. This year, the jury is led by French star Juliette Binoche. She follows in the footsteps of Greta Gerwig, who led the jury last year. The festival's chief, Thierry Frémaux, will announce the full selection in mid-April.
