A post shared by Hande Erçel (@handemiyy) What is the Cannes 2025 theme?
The 2025 Cannes Film Festival, held from May 13 to 24, did not announce an official theme, but a clear focus emerged through the films showcased: a celebration of cultural specificity and authenticity in storytelling. This year's selections highlighted local identity and rooted narratives, contrasting the homogenized, location-flexible nature of mainstream Hollywood productions. Films such as Partir un Jour and The Sound of Falling emphasized the importance of place and community, while others tackled weighty themes like historical memory, justice, and identity. Notable examples included The Disappearance of Josef Mengele and Two Prosecutors, which delved into collective remembrance and accountability.
Collectively, Cannes 2025 underscored a thematic current of grounding cinema in the specific, the personal, and the politically resonant.
This year was less about rigid dress codes and more about individuality. Whether it's through daring cuts and vibrant hues.
