Oblivion took home the award for Best Musical Film at the 2025 Cannes World Film Festival this summer. It was a thrill to be there. With so much on my plate, at first I was not sure if I’d be able to attend. But I was nudged by my dear friend Jeff who was one of the opera’s initial supporters. Jeff was even there the day the film shoot wrapped, so it was a great pleasure to have him see the fruits of our labor.
The World Film Festival in Cannes is an annual competition for international filmmakers dedicated to feature films, short films, independent films, documentaries, experimental films, animated films, and more. The Festival Jury, made up of members from the film and music industries and other artistic and cultural fields, has no connection to the films in competition and rewards the best films in each category.
The Cannes World Film Festival award is Oblivion’s first major global recognition and I am now thrilled to see the film picking up more success on the international film circuit.
