MARIE COLOMB
MADAME FIGARO
RISING STAR AWARD
AT CANNESERIES 2025
She is the revelation of the year, the actress that everyone has been talking about in 2024. It is on the stage of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes that Marie Colomb will receive the Madame Figaro Rising Star Award which each year highlights a personality to follow.
"After Ella Purnell in 2024, Morfydd Clark in 2023, Sydney Sweeney in 2022, Phoebe Dynevor in 2021 and Daisy Edgar Jones in 2020, we are very happy that this award is being presented, for the first time, to a French actress who, notably through two strong and disturbing roles in the series Laëtitia and Culte, has managed to get noticed with grace and power. It is therefore with great pleasure that we will welcome her for the first time at CANNESERIES where Madame Figaro, our loyal partner of the festival, will present her with the Rising Star Award", Albin Lewi (Artistic Director).
Season 8 of the International Series Festival will take place from April 24 to 29, 2025 at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes.
Marie Colomb arrives in Paris at the age of 19. She started out in various music videos (Odezenne, Dj Pone) and short films (Feux de Bengale). In 2017, she starred in two first feature films (Un, deux, trois… by Matthieu Gari and Merrick by Benjamin Diouris) then continued with the mini-series Laëtitia on France 2 (then Netflix) in which she played Laëtitia Perrais. Based on a tragic news story about an 18-year-old girl brutally murdered in 2011, the case had at the time shaken the entire French political class. After an appearance in 2020 in Vaurien by Peter Dourountzis, as well as in the series OVNI(s) by Antony Cordier, comes Les Magnétiques by Vincent Maël Cardona (César for Best First Film). Then, in 2022, she played in the film As Bestas by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, the film which won 9 Goyas earned her a nomination for the Goya for Best Supporting Actress, as well as in La Voie Royale by Frédéric Mermoud. In 2023, she played Léna in the mini-series Follow (13eme Rue, Universal+) directed by Louis Farge, whom she reunited with in 2024 for the series Culte (Prime Vidéo) which tells the behind the scenes of the show Loft Story and in which she plays Loana.
