TransPerfect Media's Impact at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival showcased some of the finest cinematic talents and stories from across the globe, and TransPerfect Media played a pivotal role in this year's event. As the world's largest provider of language and AI solutions for global business, TransPerfect Media's extensive capabilities in audiovisual post-production and localization were highlighted through their support of four remarkable films that earned prestigious honors.

Award-Winning Contributions

Among the celebrated films was It Was Just an Accident, directed by Jafar Panahi, which took home the coveted Palme d'Or. TransPerfect Media contributed by providing French and English subtitles, ensuring accessibility for international audiences. Another standout was Sirât, directed by Oliver Laxe, which won the Jury Prize. For this film, the team at TransPerfect handled the processing and scanning of the 16mm film reel, alongside creating English and French subtitles and sound mixing in their state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos facilities located in Barcelona.

Furthermore, Resurrection, directed by Bi Gan, received the Special Prize for its exceptional visual effects and post-production sound effects, services for which TransPerfect Media was responsible. Lastly, Jeunes Mères by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, which won the Best Screenplay award, benefitted from TransPerfect’s expertise in image post-production and visual effects.

A New Chapter for TransPerfect Media

This Cannes Film Festival marked a significant milestone for TransPerfect Media. With the recent acquisition of MPC Paris, a studio renowned for its Emmy Award-winning visual effects and animation work, the partnership strengthened TransPerfect's position within the creative production space. The integration of MPC’s creative capabilities into TransPerfect's global network is set to revolutionize the post-production industry, enhancing the quality of services offered to filmmakers and content creators.

In addition to supporting these films, TransPerfect hosted a series of networking events throughout the festival, aimed at connecting with clients, collaborators, and industry peers. These gatherings were a testament to TransPerfect’s growing expertise in post-production, visual effects, animation, restoration, subtitling, and dubbing—key services that played a crucial role behind the successes of this year's Cannes winners.

Phil Shawe, President and Co-CEO of TransPerfect, commented on the occasion, stating, "Supporting these award-winning productions is a testament to the talent and dedication of our global teams. They exemplify the impact of multilingual and multimedia collaboration in today's film industry."
