Cannes Winners: Palme D’Or Goes To Jafar Panahi’s ‘It Was Just An Accident’; Grand Prize Is Joachim Trier’s ‘Sentimental Value’; ‘The Secret Agent’ Scores For Wagner Moura & Kleber Mendonça Filho – Full List


Here are the winners of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, which are being updated as they are announced live

This final day got off to quite the bizarre start when, at about 10am local time, a mass power outage affected the region, cutting off electricity and greatly blocking cell service. The festival, however, was well prepared for such an odd scenario, pivoting to an independent power supply to keep the Palais juiced so that all scheduled events and screenings, including this Closing Ceremony, could proceed as planned. Other movies singled out by our critics include Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just an Accident, Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague, Bi Gan’s Resurrection, Mascha Schilinski’s The Sound of Falling and Sergei Loznitza’s Two Prosecutors.
