Eram Faridi Shines at Cannes 2025: Cinema Woven in the Colours of India

From the winding alleys of Lucknow to the iconic boulevards of Cannes, producer Eram Faridi’s journey has been one of authenticity, artistry, and national pride — a walk not just on the red carpet, but through the heart of Indian heritage.

At Cannes 2025, amidst the glamour of global fashion and cinematic celebration, it was Eram Faridi who drew eyes and admiration — not merely for her credentials as a producer, but for her quiet power as a cultural ambassador. A respected global art patron, she arrived not draped in designer labels, but in identity itself.

Her striking ensemble — flowing in the vibrant hues of the Indian tricolour: saffron, white, green, and accented with ocean blue — stood as a tribute to the land she comes from. Detailed with traditional zardosi, brocade, sequins, and delicate hand embroidery, it was not just fashion, but a story of artisanship, memory, and pride worn with dignity.

“This is my tribute to the land I come from — to every artisan, every thread, every woman who carries a part of India within her,” said Eram Faridi. Her anthology of films — Fedora’s Wrinkles, Naina, and Meet Mr. Chang — presented by Erams Entertainment, was featured at this year’s prestigious Marché du Film at Cannes.

The films struck a powerful chord with global audiences.

Australian chef and cinephile Kara Brownie shared, “I love Eram and her inherent energy of storytelling. She is a beautiful person inside out, and her stories reflect that persona. While the anthology educates, it is also equally entertaining.”

French cinephile Patrick Fremiot commented, “These films transcend boundaries and touch hearts. Love Eram Faridi’s guts to bring such untold stories to Cannes.”

J. M. Esther Mathilda Kahn, Australian celebrity and CEO of Caao International, added, “Every woman deserves freedom. Every nation must be free of racism. Eram Faridi proves just that.”

Indian filmmaker Dr. (Hon) Anusha Srinivasan Iyer offered a poetic reflection: “For me, watching her anthology was like reading poetry — stitched with memory, womanhood, and silence that speaks louder than words. Cannes needs more such voices.”

Eram Faridi’s presence at Cannes wasn’t just about cinema. It was about conviction. She didn’t just walk the red carpet — she redefined it. One that bore the imprint of culture, courage, and craftsmanship.

As a producer, Eram Faridi brought stories. As a woman, she brought strength. As an Indian, she brought home — to the world stage.
