Cannes' Show Goes on With Dior, Prada and Chanel at Closing Ceremony
CANNES, France — As they say in the movie business, 'the show must go on.' And so it did. The Cannes Film Festival continued its closing ceremony despite a region-wide power outage that crippled the town for much of the day. The Palais des Festivals is equipped with generators and kept the festivities on track. More from WWD Italian Fashion Associations Sign Protocol to Combat Worker Exploitation in Supply Chain Riviera Reels Helen Mirren on Cannes, Culture Shift and the Power of Visibility 'The Palais des Festivals has switched to an independent power supply, allowing all scheduled events and screenings, including the closing ceremony, to proceed as planned and under normal conditions,' the festival said in a statement. Power had gone out around 10 a.m. and resumed around 3:30 p.m. local time. The closing ceremony was scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. local time, and started without a hitch. During the power outage luxury boutiques and stores across the city were closed, and restaurants would accept cash only, throwing much of the last day of the film festival into disarray as locals and festival goers alike piled into the streets. Internet and telephone connections were down. The Hôtel Martinez, where many celebrities get ready for the event, had a generator for the first floor and the elevators, but upper floors were dark. Stylists reported using phone flashlights to see during the dressing process. But you couldn't dim the lights for the stars on the red carpet. Jury president Juliette Binoche departed from her Dior looks with a sporty custom Prada outfit of a full-length midnight blue skirt with beading at the waist and a coordinated truncated bomber jacket that she zhuzhed up at the sleeves. Both pieces were from the Re-Nylon collection. Binoche cinched the skirt at the waist and added a casual twist with a white T-shirt with a red collar. She finished the look with Chopard hoops. But Dior had a trio of Binoche's fellow jurors on its roster, with Alba Rohrwacher, in a bubblegum pink full-length pouf skirt gown; Leila Slimani, in a gray and gold lace dress, and Halle Berry in a column dress with lace sleeves embroidered and accented with gray wick wool curlers from the spring 2025 couture collection. Berry and Rohrwacher both topped their Dior looks with Chopard jewels. Fellow juror Jeremy Strong, who has been on a Loro Piana streak this festival, closed Cannes in a custom smoky blue tuxedo by new Lanvin creative director Peter Copping. The look was inspired by a piece from the designer's fall 2025 collection presented in January. Elle Fanning wore a custom Chanel dress in a pale blue silke crepe with a sweeping tulle skirt cinched with a black bow at the waist, completed with Cartier jewels. The skirt was embellished with embroidered braids that took 400 hours to complete. Cate Blanchett, who was on hand to present the Palme d'Or top prize, wore a custom Louis Vuitton dress and high jewelry from the house. The top prize went to Iranian director Jafar Panahi's 'It Was Just An Accident.' The film follows a man, his pregnant wife and their young daughter as they get into a car accident that creates a chain of events. It's the director's first film since his release from prison and house arrest, and marks his return to Cannes after a seven year absence. The second place Grand Prize went to Danish-Norweigan filmmaker Joachim Trier's 'Sentimental Value,' starring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, and Elle Fanning. The film follows Skarsgård's fading film star as he tries to revive his career, and the toll it takes on his family. The third place Jury Prize was a tie between French-Spanish filmmaker Oliver Laxe's near-future apocalyptic tale that follows a group of ravers travelling the desert looking for one last party, and German director Mascha Schilinksi's 'The Sound of Falling,' which follows the lives of four women across time who are connected by living on the same farm over generations.

Jury President Juliette Binoche on why It was just an Accident won Palme d'Or
Washington DC [US], May 25 (ANI): Cannes President and actor Juliette Binoche opened up about the jury's decision to award Palme d'Or to Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi's 'It was just an Accident' at the global film festival on Saturday, reported Deadline. Jury President Juliette Binoche lauded the creative decision of the team to honour the film. She called it a movie with a feeling of "resistance" and "survival", which she calls necessary in today's life. "The film springs from a feeling of resistance, survival, which is absolutely necessary today. It's very human and political at the same time, because he comes from a complicated country. When we watched the film, it stood out," said Binocher as quoted by Deadline. As per the outlet, Panahi was previously in Competition in 2018 with 3 Faces, won the Camera d'Or for his first film The White Balloon in 1995 and won a Jury Prize in Un Certain Regard for Crimson Gold in 2003. The filmmaker had two unjustified stints in prison in Iran; Panahi getting released in 2023. While recalling the prison history of the director, Binoche called the film a celebration of "art" and "human" desire to win. "It was exciting to celebrate (him). Art will always win. What is human will always win. As actors, directors and people who work in art, we can speak out in public on important issues and transform the world," said Binche as quoted by Deadline. "We are in a world ruled by revenge, violence, and this film for someone who has had this experience of violence in his life, the fact that one can talk about this change within the film, this change which is not revenge, the idea is you can listen and not necessarily want to kill someone or rough them up. The film holds out huge hope and we were fortunate to have this movie in competition. So, we can talk about these matters. You have to have a paradigm shift of looking at things. We're in the mud of violence, in the sludge of what is human..." added Binoche as quoted by Deadline. In addition to Binoche, this year's majority-female jury included Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher, Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia, French-Moroccan writer Leila Slimani, American stars Halle Berry and Jeremy Strong, South Korean auteur Hong Sangsoo, Mexican director Carlos Reygadas and Congolese filmmaker Dieudo Hamadi.

Stars condemn Gaza silence at Cannes Fest
Hollywood heavyweights Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Riz Ahmed and Guillermo del Toro have added their names to a letter condemning the film industry's silence on what it called "genocide" in Gaza, the organisers confirmed on Friday. The petition, signed by more than 370 actors and filmmakers, also denounced Israel's killing of Fatima Hassouna, the young Gaza photojournalist featured in the documentary Put Your Soul in Your Hand and Walk, which premiered at the Cannes film festival on Thursday. The organisers of the letter said the French actor Juliette Binoche, who is chairing the jury at Cannes, also added her name to the letter, along with Rooney Mara, US indie director Jim Jarmusch and Lupin star Omar Sy. Binoche had initially seemed to pull back from supporting it as the festival opened on Tuesday, instead delivering a tribute to Hassouna, who was killed with 10 members of her family the day after she learned the film would be shown at Cannes. "She should have been here tonight with us," an emotional Binoche said at the opening ceremony. The growing protest comes after several days of mounting bloodshed in the besieged Palestinian territory, with 120 people killed on Thursday and 50 reported dead since midnight. Schindler's List star Ralph Fiennes as well as Richard Gere, Mark Ruffalo, Guy Pearce, Susan Sarandon, Javier Bardem, and directors David Cronenberg, Pedro Almodovar, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Leigh said they were "ashamed" of their industry's failure to speak out about Israel's siege of Gaza in the original letter. In her Cannes speech on Tuesday, Binoche also referenced the Israeli hostages taken on October 7, 2023. Sicko and Bowling for Columbine director Michael Moore and French actor Camille Cottin of Call My Agent fame are among other entertainment industry figures who have added their names to the letter since Tuesday.
