Cannes Film Festival 2025 Unveils Star-Studded Lineup and Fresh Voices

The 78th edition, running May 13-24, features high-profile premieres, record female representation, and an honorary Palme d’Or for Robert De Niro.

The official lineup includes 19 films in competition, showcasing works from renowned directors like Wes Anderson, Ari Aster, Julia Ducournau, and Richard Linklater.
Tom Cruise will present 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' out of competition, continuing the festival’s tradition of hosting major Hollywood premieres.
Robert De Niro is set to receive an honorary Palme d’Or during the opening ceremony, recognizing his six-decade-long career in film.
The festival emphasizes inclusivity with six female directors in competition and numerous debut features in the Un Certain Regard section, including Scarlett Johansson's 'Eleanor the Great.'
Cannes remains a key launchpad for awards season, following last year’s success with Palme d’Or winner 'Anora,' which went on to win five Oscars.
