At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, audiences will be treated to the highly anticipated premiere of The Three Gates of Wisdom, a short film by visionary artist Devy Man. The event is part of a collaborative showcase hosted by the Royale Gentlemen Congress Awards and the Cannes International AI Film Awards, collectively presented under the Congress AI Film Awards banner — a partnership that underscores the growing synergy between innovation and artistic expression in today’s cinema landscape.
The Three Gates of Wisdom is a thought-provoking cinematic piece that merges philosophy, digital storytelling, and minimalist filmmaking. Shot entirely on a smartphone, the film traces the spiritual journey of a young prince as he confronts three existential challenges: transforming the world, transforming others, and ultimately transforming himself. Inspired by a parable from psychologist Charles Brulhart, this poetic narrative has already captured attention across the international festival circuit, earning multiple accolades.
The official premiere is scheduled for May 22, 2025, and unfolds as a day-long celebration of creativity and cultural exchange: 
- 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Film screenings and networking sessions at the elegant Gray d’Albion Hotel
- 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM: Gala dinner, fashion showcase, and live performances including an opera set at the beachfront Majestic Barrière Riviera
- 10:00 PM – 3:00 AM: After Party under the stars at the Beach Club on the French Riviera
This extraordinary evening will bring together laureates from both the Congress Awards and AI Awards to honor innovation across art, technology, and social impact. The event will also spotlight philanthropy, with part of the proceeds dedicated to humanitarian and cultural initiatives.
Devy Man — known for his multifaceted work as a filmmaker, musician, journalist, and designer — began his artistic career in Lille and has since carved a unique path at the intersection of creativity and advocacy. His collaborations with global peace initiatives, including Peace Jam and Nobel Prize recipients, reflect a consistent dedication to human rights, intercultural dialogue, and non-violent activism.
The Cannes screening of The Three Gates of Wisdom invites audiences into a realm where digital technology becomes a vessel for timeless wisdom, offering an immersive experience that is both visually innovative and emotionally resonant.
