Peter Jackson will receive an honorary Palme d'Or at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival, recognizing his visionary filmmaking that blends Hollywood blockbusters with artistic audacity. The acclaimed filmmaker described the honor as one of the greatest privileges of his career.

The Cannes Film Festival has unveiled an auteur-heavy lineup for its 79th edition, featuring new films by renowned international directors but with a near-total absence of American directors in the main competition.

The Cannes Film Festival is approaching its 80th edition with a notable roster of actors expected on the red carpet, including Léa Seydoux, Sandra Hüller, and Isabelle Huppert. This year's Palme d'Or competition features an impressive lineup of some of the world's top directors, including regulars like Pedro Almodóvar and Asghar Farhadi.

John Travolta will make his directorial debut with the film 'Propeller One-Way Night Coach', which will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2026, according to multiple reports. The film, an adaptation of a book Travolta wrote in 1997, will be presented in the Cannes Premiere Selection.
