“It’s Giving ART”: X Is Fangirling as the Neon Booth Oozes Success at Cannes Film Festival 2025

Published 05/18/2025, 10:30 PM EDT

If glamor were a person, it would be lounging on the Croisette at the Cannes Film Festival, dressed in sequins and dripping in stardust. Every May, the French Riviera transforms into a cinematic runway where cameras flash like paparazzi firestorms, and the world’s biggest stars glide past in couture that could blind a telescope. From Cate Blanchett’s ethereal gowns to Quentin Tarantino’s quirky charm, Cannes is the ultimate playground of excess and elegance. This year, however, the spotlight is not just on the red carpet but glowing brighter than ever on something a little more neon.

Enter Neon, the indie film production and distribution powerhouse stealing hearts at Cannes 2025 with its signature booth. This radiant installation showcases five Palme d’Or-winning films distributed or produced by Neon, each framed by neon lights matching their award year. Fans and critics alike are calling it pure art, and love it so much that it would not be far fetched to say that they think it is the coolest thing since sliced baguette.

The booth proudly displayed an eclectic lineup: 2019’s Parasite, glowing warmly in yellow neon with its unforgettable intensity; 2021’s Titane, pulsating in striking blue neon with a fearless female lead; 2022’s Triangle of Sadness, bathed in tender green neon with emotional embraces; 2023’s Anatomy of a Fall, cool and contemplative in icy blue; and 2024’s Anora, flashing vibrantly in pink neon with its bold female protagonist. It is a neon-lit hall of fame that even the Cannes palm trees might envy.
