All the winning works of the season: August 3, 2025 - October 31, 2025
Julien Moreau
Founder & Art Director
Dear participants, finalists and winners,

We sincerely congratulate you on the end of the festival season and on your outstanding participation in this rich, bright and inspiring cinematic journey!

Every application, every script, every frame - became part of the unique artistic space that we created together. Your works did not just add to the festival program - they gave it depth, courage and sincerity.

We were amazed by how diversely and powerfully you use the language of cinema to talk about important things, raise sensitive topics, touch hearts and open new horizons of audience perception.

Participation in the festival is already an achievement. This is a step that requires courage, faith in yourself and your story. All those who were selected for the finals proved that they are able to surprise, inspire and speak with a voice that is heard and valuable. And the winners... you were the ones who left a particularly bright mark - and we are proud that we could witness your triumph.

Our festival exists thanks to creators like you. People who are not afraid to try, explore, take risks. Those who see cinema not only as a form, but as a mission - to convey feelings, change perception, awaken thought.

Let this festival stage become for each of you not the end, but a new starting point. We sincerely believe that your creative journey is just beginning.

Keep creating, telling, surprising - the world needs such stories.

With gratitude and deep respect,
Julien Moreau
Founder & Art Director of Cinema Royale: Paris Edition
