The secret location that is shaking up the nights of the Cannes Film Festival 2025

While the flashbulbs crackle on the steps, another scene is ablaze, more subterranean, more vibrant. What’s it called? Silencio.

Le Silencio: the hidden epicenter of Cannes nightlife

From May 13 to 22, 2025, on the occasion of the 78ᵉ edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Silencio is once again taking up residence on the Croisette – but not where you’d expect it. Nestled in the heart of the Palais des Festivals, the mythical Parisian club becomes, every night, the stage for a different kind of show: that of pure, free, resolutely artistic partying.

From midnight to 6am, cinema icons meet the sharpest minds on the electro scene. All in a confidential, stylish space reserved for those who know – or dare.

A program of legends and new gods

The line-up for this 2025 edition is a statement: Carl Craig, The Blessed Madonna, Maceo Plex, Agoria, Polo & Pan… On the decks, pioneers of the sound, but also emerging talents who are shaking up the boundaries of the Cannes party.

There’s no flashiness here: it’s all about the intensity of the moment, the alchemy of the crowd, the intoxication of a night that just won’t end. Far from photocalls, Silencio invents another kind of rise: that of the BPM.

A free space, in the image of its audience

What happens at Silencio has no dress code, no script. Just one constant: theavant-garde. The place brings together filmmakers, designers, artists, icons and the enlightened anonymous, all guided by a taste for the unexpected. A microcosm of nocturnal creativity, where people come to meet, dance, provoke and create.
