This year's Cannes Film Festival made a strong impression on audiences by dedicating special attention to films revolving around childhood, conflict, and survival stories. Organizers said these themes reflect the contemporary world's painful but hopeful realities.
Many works presented at Cannes this year focus on children's perspectives amid wars and humanitarian crises. International directors skillfully used cinematic language to convey messages about loss, love, and the will to live.
One of the festival's highlights was discussions about cinema's role in raising awareness of children affected by conflict globally. Many filmmakers shared they wanted to use their works to tell silent stories that few people know about.
This year's event also witnessed a wave of documentaries and art films boldly tackling society's pressing issues while maintaining poetic and humanistic qualities in every frame. The Cannes Film Festival closed with deep emotion and a promise of a cinema rich in humanity.
