Details
The 78th Cannes Film Festival, which took place from May 13 to 24, 2025, has ended. The winners of the competition have been announced. The main award of this year's Cannes Film Festival - the "Golden Palm Branch" - was awarded to Iranian dissident director Jafar Panahi for the thriller "It Was Just An Accident".
I think now is the time to address all Iranians, everywhere in the world, regardless of the diversity of their opinions, I would like to ask one thing. Let's put aside all the problems, the most important thing now is our country and the freedom of our country. Let's work together so that no one dares to dictate to us what to wear, what to say, what to do
The Grand Prix was awarded to the film "Sentimental Value" by Joachim Trier, a Norwegian film director and screenwriter, who is a relative of Danish director Lars von Trier.
Thanks to the sophisticated acting of Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgard and Elle Fanning, the film explores the fragility of intimate relationships.
After receiving the award, Trier immediately praised the dedication of his actors, calling the prize a joint recognition.
