Le vendredi 20 juin 2025, dans le cadre somptueux d’une soirée organisée après le Festival de Cannes, le prestigieux Prix Bulles Cardin a récompensé trois acteurs remarquables engagés dans la protection de notre planète. Présidée par Rodrigo Basilicati Cardin, Président du groupe Cardin, cette cérémonie annuelle continue d’être un temps fort pour valoriser les innovations en faveur de l’environnement. Le groupe Cardin fait partie des premiers acteurs du monde de la mode à avoir mis l’écologie au cœur de ses préoccupations et demeure parmi les rares à encourager activement des solutions concrètes via ce prix. Cette année, le prix « Ocean for our planet » a été attribué à la start-up MÖBIUS. Développée par Whale Seeker, MÖBIUS est un système assisté par intelligence artificielle destiné à détecter, localiser et classifier les mammifères marins à partir d’images aériennes. En collaboration avec Transports Canada, ce système permet une analyse accélérée de la baleine noire de l’Atlantique Nord, réduisant le temps d’analyse de plusieurs semaines à quelques heures seulement, tout en intégrant l’expertise humaine pour garantir sa fiabilité. Cameron Dowd (Inverto Earth) et Rodrigo Basilicati-Cardin, Président du Groupe Pierre Cardin Dans la catégorie « Space for our planet », la start-up INVERTO EARTH a été récompensée pour ses avancées significatives dans la restauration des zones humides grâce à la nature tech.

Villa of Ministers 2025: When the evenings of the Cannes festival make festive politics!
You might think, on behalf of « Villa of Ministers », that it is a summer annex of the government for overworked ministers seeking an excuse to extend their lunch break. But don't be confused: here, the only crisis to deal with is that of choosing between a Caipirinha cocktail or a fresh Limoncello. For its third edition, the Villa of Ministers has set up a few steps from the Palais des Festivals in a green setting of 2,500 m2. From 14 to 21 May 2025, there were no fewer than 16 exclusive events that lit up the days and illuminated the nights of the 78th Cannes Festival. Under the impetus of Yves de Roquemaurel and Elena Sokhoshko, this place has become a must-see, between sharp professional meetings and memorable festivals. On the programme, a festive tour of the world of cinema: The festivities began on May 14 with the Condor Distribution Grill & Pool Party, launching this week with a wealth of events. Afro Cannes followed from 15 to 19 May with conferences and round tables on cinema, including Aaron Thomas (creator of the S.W.A.T. series), Frédéric Chau and Wendell Pierce (The Wire, Suits). The Glasgow International Film Festival, in the presence of Martin Petrov, founder of the event, also marked the spirits with its warm and international atmosphere. Among the major events around the films in the official selection of the festival: The dinner of May 17 for the film Le Rire et le Couteau by Pedro Pinho, selection Un Certain Regard, with the remarkable presence of actress Cleo Diara (prize of interpretation), the rea
The Dardenne brothers awarded the Prix du Cinéma Positive in Cannes for « Young mothers »
This Friday, May 23 at 1 p.m., on the CNC beach in Cannes, directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne received the Prix du Cinéma Positive 2025 for their latest film Jeunes Mères, a poignant and committed work hailed for its humanism and social reach. The prize (the second for the Dardenne brothers after the one received in 2022 for Tori and Lokita), which recognizes the most positive feature film among all those in official competition at the Cannes Film Festival, was presented to them by the sponsors of this edition, Aïssa Maïga, actress and director engaged, and Jimmy Jean-Louis, international actor, both fervent defenders of a cinema carrying meaning and impact. The ceremony was held in an inspiring atmosphere, in the presence of Sam Bobino, director of Positive Cinema Week, Rosalie Mann, president of the association No More Plastic, Dolores Chaplin, actress and director, as well as Alexandra Cousteau, filmmaker and explorer and Estelle Lefebure, actress and president of the association Spero Mar. Young Mothers (produced by Les Films du Fleuve, la société du duo de réalisateurs, en coproduction avec Archipel 35/Archipel 33) is part of the continuing work of the Dardenne brothers, highlighting with rare accuracy the challenges and strength of women in early motherhood. Their sensitive and deeply human eyes on society find a powerful echo once again, and this prize salutes not only their work, but also their constant commitment to a cinema with hope and transformation. The Prize of Positive Cinema, cr
Last night in Cannes 18 May Ghosts, glitters and podiums
There are those who sleep... And then there's Cannes. And if we believe the evening of May 18, ghosts dance there, stars parade there, and the beaches turn into illuminated catwalks. Welcome to our Cannois twilight logbook, where the cinema meets the party, and where night falls with panache on the Croisette. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Last Night in Cannes 17 May – Cannes Film Festival 2025
The 17th of May in Cannes was a night of contrasts: from the cinema engaged to the confidential festival, to the most surprising projects of the Quinzaine. A dense evening, under the sign of sharing, reflection and creative energy. Projection of « Orwell 2 + 2 = 5 » Raoul Peck – Intimistic, deep, necessary I had the honour of attending the screening of Raoul Peck's new film, Orwell 2 + 2 = 5, distributed by The Pact. This incisive documentary focuses on the last days of George Orwell, to better draw the contours of a contemporary society under surveillance, conditioned by new languages and power structures. A work that is both sober and fulgurating, and a dreadful news. The evening that followed was like the film: in a small committee, in a discreet and professional setting. A privileged moment of reunion, discussions, where the film team was present. I had the joy of finding a friend actor Eriq Ebouaney, a faithful supporter of the engaged cinema, as well as the great photographer Kriss Dewitte, whose black and white photographs capture with rare sensitivity moments of truth. You can discover his work in the Cannes Festival special edition of The Warp magazine. Dangerous Animal » – sharks at the Fortnight, and a Fx team at the top Change of scenery on the Vega Cartel beach, with the presentation of Dangerous Animal (released July 25, 2025), a film Horror scare, Thriller whose protagonist is another serial killer obsessed with sharks !!.

Last Night in Cannes 16 May – Japan, party and meetings
Japan Night : élégance nippone et avant-premières Japan Night : élégance nippone et avant-premièresHier soir, le Japon était à l’honneur lors d’une réception scintillante, rassemblant professionnels du cinéma, producteurs et passionnés sur la Croisette. L’événement, qui s’est tenu à partir de 19h, a mis en avant la vitalité du cinéma japonais, avec la présence de plusieurs productions sélectionnées cette année au Festival : Renoir de Chie Hayakawa, en compétition officielle, un drame sensible sur la résilience d’une fillette face à la maladie de son père à Tokyo. A Pale View of Hills de Kei Ishikawa, sélectionné à Un Certain Regard, qui explore les souvenirs d’une veuve japonaise entre Nagasaki et l’Angleterre. Exit 8 de Genki Kawamura, présenté en séances de minuit, adaptation d’un jeu vidéo à succès, où un homme tente d’échapper à un couloir de métro sans fin. La Japan Night a favorisé le networking autour de ces œuvres et d’autres projets, dans une ambiance raffinée où la gastronomie nippone – sushis délicats, saké pétillant ( Sake Hundred ) – a ravi les convives. J’ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer un jeune réalisateur français Victor Boccard, parfaitement bilingue, qui nourrit le projet ambitieux de tourner son prochain film au Japon. Même s’il n’a pas pitché officiellement durant la soirée, nos échanges ont révélé sa passion pour la culture japonaise et son expérience déjà riche dans la réalisation de clips publicitaires. Espérons que les rencontres de cette Japan Night lui ouvriront de nouvelles perspectives. Ambiance kawaii garantie : le photocall a vu certains invités s’amuser avec des accessoires, créant des scènes aussi mignonnes qu’inattendues, à la japonaise. Plage Magnum : la dernière, mais pas des moindres ! La Plage Magnum reste un incontournable des nuits cannoises. Hier soir, elle a accueilli deux projections exclusives : – La Petite Dernière (AD VITAM) – L’Inconnu de la Grande Arche (Le Pacte). La soirée a pris des allures de dancefloor géant, animée par plusieurs DJ jusqu’à 2h du matin. Clin d’œil du calendrier : cette “petite dernière” n’était pas seulement le titre du film à l’affiche, mais aussi la dernière grande fête Magnum de cette édition 2025, qui aura une fois de plus su conjuguer festivité et gourmandise avec brio. Villa Montana : le chic festif signé Le Baron La Villa Montana, perchée au 47 chemin des Collines, s’est imposée cette nuit comme le repaire des oiseaux de nuit, grâce à une soirée orchestrée par l’équipe du Baron. Ce lieu confidentiel, avec sa piscine et sa vue sur la baie de Cannes, offre un cadre exclusif et raffiné, parfait pour les afterparties jusqu’au petit matin. Espace à compléter : noms des DJ à ajouter ici. Par exemple, la programmation récente a vu passer Honey Dijon, Rammö, Sudre & Sami Daik, Niddy. Un écrin parfait pour vivre la fête à la cannoise, où chaque soirée réserve son lot de surprises et de rencontres. Le Silencio : l’ultime escale nocturne Après la plage, direction Le Silencio, à deux pas des marches du Palais. Ce club éphémère, véritable épicentre des nuits cannoises, a une nouvelle fois réuni les festivaliers sur son dancefloor, porté par une programmation musicale éclectique et prestigieuse. Mention spéciale pour la terrasse panoramique, qui offre une vue imprenable sur le port de Cannes : l’endroit idéal pour surveiller son yacht ou simplement s’émerveiller devant la magie nocturne de la Croisette. Et bien plus encore…La nuit cannoise ne s’arrête jamais : plage Vega by Cartel, soirées de la Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, Campari Party (toujours à la recherche du contact, même en italien ! ) Ma a quanto pare, anche se approvato amichevolmente da qualcuno che gestisce la lista per raggiungere degli amici… alcuni alla sicurezza preferiscono comunque bloccare — a meno che non scivoli un biglietto non proprio leggero. Voce di corridoio… purtroppo verificata. Io, invece, ho preferito rientrare e scrivere un articolo giornalistico. A suivre avec d’autre histoire, sur le blog de Cannes ! Partage d'article
Last night in Cannes May 15, 2025 – Film Festival Party
Last Night in Cannes : Back to the Unbeatable Evenings of May 15, 2025 The night of May 15 in Cannes kept all its promises: between glamour, music and encounters, the Croisette vibrated at the pace of the Festival's most popular events. Here is the summary of this electric night, waiting for our detailed reports in pictures and videos. Silencio: 15 years of Cannes Soundtrack and tribute to David Lynch Le Silencio, an ephemeral club designed by David Lynch, celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Cannes Soundtrack Award. The evening began with an award ceremony marked by the presence of Cerrone, before turning into a true temple of electronic music. DJs Palms Trax and Myd were on the stage for this edition, offering a memorable set until the end of the night. A tribute to David Lynch also roused the evening, recalling the unique link between the filmmaker and this mythical place. Magnum: a crisply festive opening The Magnum beach has launched the festivities in beauty, bringing together celebrities, influencers and personalities from the cinema and media. This year it was Lucky Love, ambassador of the 2025 edition, who inflamed the scene with his title « (What about My) Male », in front of guests like Adil Rami, EnjoyPhoenix, Flora Coquerel and several former Miss France and the creator Christophe Guillarmé. The ambience was both elegant and overly hovered, faithful to Magnum's reputation on the Croisette.

Cannes After Midnight: Silencio's Magnetic Return
RENEW THE INCONTOURABLE NIGHTS OF CANNOISESOn the occasion of the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Silencio made his great return on the Croisette. In the wake of the projections, the climbs of the marches and the suspended cinema moments, the iconic club reaffirms its place as epicenter of the nights of Cannois — between artistic effervescence and assumed hedonism. From 13 to 22 May, in a confidential setting, Silencio reinvents every evening the post-festival: a free and vibrant space, in the image of those who converge. Every evening, the Club deploys a bold programme, bringing together the most emblematic figures on the international electronic scene. From Carl Craig to The Blessed Madonna, Maceo Plex, Agoria and Polo & Pan, this 2025 edition brings together major artists and emerging talents in a place of convergence, unexpected, avant-garde — where filmmakers, creators, icons and free spirits cross. https://www.blogdecanes.fr/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/silencioclub 20250320 reel.mp4 Article sharing

Cannes 2024 Evening of the film The Surfer sur la Plage Magnum with Nicolas Cage
The Cannes Film Festival continues to surprise and wonder its festivalgoers. This Friday night, it's on Magnum Beach after magic operated during a memorable Midnight Session. Nicolas Cage, twenty-four years after his visit to the Croisette « Sailor and Lula » David Lynch, inflamed the festival with his new film « The Surfer » directed by Lorcan Finnegan. A Very Waiting Return The public, obviously delighted to find Nicolas Cage, discovered « The Surfer », a film that announced itself as a classic dream movie but that turned out to be an amazing and suffocating trip.
