For the final two weeks, our on-the-Croisette crew of Film Comment contributors has been reporting from the 2025 Cannes Film Pageant with a collection of considerate dispatches, interviews, and Podcasts.

Earlier than the pageant wrapped on Might 24, Film Comment partnered with Cannes Docs, the nonfiction-focused part of the Marché du movie, on a panel titled “The Voice of Documentary.” Moderated by FC Editor Devika Girish, the panel convened three practitioners of radical nonfiction—Eduardo Williams (The Human Surge 3), Brett Story (Union), and Zoya Laktionova (Ashes Settling in Layers on the Floor)—to unpack the moral and sensible methods during which documentaries use sound, voice, and audio to talk to us and form us as listeners.
