DUBAI: Cannes Critics’ Week has announced the lineup for its 2025 edition, which includes the Red Sea Film Foundation-supported film “Dandelion’s Odyssey” from Japanese director Momoko Seto.

The film — which will close the week — will be the first animated feature to screen in the section since Jeremy Clapin’s Grand Prize winner “I Lost My Body” in 2019.

Shot from Japan to Iceland, “Dandelion’s Odyssey” is an adventure set in a dystopian world, with plants and animals as the main characters. The feature features a mix of timelapse photography, as well as live-action shooting and 3D animation.

More than 1,000 films were submitted for Cannes Critics’ Week 2025, which runs from May 14 to 22.
