Around a dozen Cannes staffers, covertly stationed next to the red carpet, blew whistles and held red Sous Les Écrans La Dèche placards as the Cannes jury led by Juliette Binoche made their way into the opening night gala.

She held hands with her fellow jurors — a group that includes “Succession” star Jeremy Strong, Oscar-winning actor Halle Berry, “All We Imagine as Light” director Payal Kapadia — at the top of the steps.

Cannes director Thierry Fremaux and his Competition jury faced pointed questions about the state of the world at their press conferences.

The Oscar winning auteur struck a pose with wife Daniella Tarantino, caught up with Leonardo DiCaprio and dropped the mic, literally, after declaring that the 2025 Cannes Film Festival is officially open.

Amélie Bonnin’s feature film that opened the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday evening, is an unusual film for an opener.

Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum and Carlos Sainz Jr walked the red carpet as Cannes 2025 kicked off with 'Partir Un Jour'.

Halle Berry had to make a last minute wardrobe change prior to her appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival due to the annual event’s new, strict dress code. Prior to the 78th edition of the festival kicking off on May 13, Cannes announced updated rules that all guests are expected to follow during their grand red carpet arrivals.

Freelance workers at the Cannes Film Festival, supported by French labor org Sous les écrans la dèche, plan protest at the opening ceremony.
