Cannes Prepares to Award the Palme d'Or, with Neon Positioned to Add to an Unprecedented Streak

The 78th Cannes Film Festival will conclude on Saturday with the presentation of the Palme d'Or on the French Riviera.
This year’s festival occurs amid geopolitical tensions, including a proposed 100% U.S. Tariff on foreign films, prompting most filmmakers to call the plan illogical.
The festival features about 40 films observed by reporter Jake Coyle since 2012, including works by Spike Lee, Christopher McQuarrie, Ari Aster, and Wes Anderson’s premiere of The Phoenician Scheme.
Indie distributor Neon has been behind the last five films to take home the Palme d'Or, including recent winners such as Anora, and may continue this impressive run with four new contenders at this year’s festival, where Juliette Binoche leads the jury.
With the nine-member jury’s voting outcomes unknown, the festival’s close will reflect its status as the world’s largest movie market despite uncertainties from political and industry challenges.
