Official poster of the 78th Festival de Cannes 60x80 cm

Pre-order poster, dispatch from Tuesday May 13, 2025.

ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN

It was 60 years ago: in 1965, two damaged beings played by Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant met, seduced each other, resisted, and finally twirled under Claude Lelouch's incandescent camera. The Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1966, the two Oscars in Hollywood in 1967 and dozens of awards around the world pale in comparison with this grandiose moment of tenderness, simplicity and beauty.

Because this embrace (the anagram of eternity!) is undoubtedly the most famous of the 7th Art, because you can't separate a man and a woman who love each other, because you can't separate that man from that woman, the Festival de Cannes has chosen to present a double official poster for the first time in its history. A man and a woman. Facing each other, but together.

At a time when people seem to want to separate, compartmentalize and subjugate, the Festival de Cannes wants to (re)unite. To bring bodies, hearts and souls closer together. To encourage freedom and represent movement in order to perpetuate it. To embody the whirlwind of life and celebrate it again and again.
