The internationally acclaimed short film ADRENALINE, directed by Vedd V Rawtaani, celebrated its prestigious Cannes premiere on May 18, 2025, marking a monumental milestone in its global festival journey. The screening at the iconic Festival de Cannes adds yet another feather to the film’s already impressive cap, having been officially selected at 29 international film festivals and winning over 23 awards since its world premiere at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival in early 2024.
A tense and emotionally layered narrative, ADRENALINE follows two best friends who dive into a virtual reality game, only to find themselves confronting blurred lines between the digital and real world. As hidden truths emerge and emotions unravel, their bond is put to the ultimate test. The film resonates deeply with contemporary audiences, exploring universal themes of identity, loyalty, and the psychological cost of repressed emotions.
The Cannes selection was made possible with the support of Vikrant More, CEO of Wings of Bollywood Entertainment, who first encountered the film at the Indian Panorama International Film Festival, where he served as organiser. Deeply moved by the film’s narrative power and cinematic vision, More played an instrumental role in championing ADRENALINE for the Cannes platform.
Reflecting on the film’s journey and the Cannes recognition, director Vedd V Rawtaani shared, “Premiering at Cannes feels surreal. What started as a deeply personal story has now resonated across the globe. I’m grateful to every festival that believed in us, and to everyone who supported the film from day one. This moment at Cannes is not just for me it’s for every storyteller out there pushing boundaries and breaking norms.”
