- Demi Moore returns to Cannes after her 2024 comeback in “The Substance,” which earned her multiple nominations and a best screenplay award.
- Chloé Zhao brings Oscar‑winning credentials, having directed “Nomadland” and “Hamnet,” and recently launched the production company Book of Shadows.
- Stellan Skarsgård joins after a Golden Globe win for “Sentimental Value” and an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.
- Paul Laverty adds Palme‑d’Or experience, having co‑written Ken Loach’s two winning films, “The Wind that Shakes the Barley” (2006) and “I, Daniel Blake” (2016).
- Cannes Film Festival will award the Palme d’Or from a slate of 22 competition films, a decision that could shape the market prospects of the selected director.
Why it matters: The 22 competing filmmakers gain a Cannes Palme‑d’Or boost that can lift distribution deals and box‑office returns, while the Cannes Film Festival secures heightened global media exposure and sponsor revenue for its 2026 edition.
