As the Cannes Film Festival 2025 wraps up, a cinematic tradition lives on: the unveiling of Y.M.Cinema’s Cannes Camera Chart. Based on IndieWire’s excellent cinematography survey (Cannes 2025: IndieWire’s Survey), this year’s data paints a clear picture — or rather, a clear frame — of where the world’s most prestigious filmmakers are heading. The verdict? ARRI still dominates, Super 35 rules, and the ARRI ALEXA 35 is the new monarch of the Croisette. Gone are the days of equal footing between large format and Super 35. If Cannes 2024 hinted at a return to tradition, Cannes 2025 shouts it from the rooftops: Super 35 isn’t just back — it’s dominant.
