The 71st annual Cannes Film Festival was held from 8 to 19 May 2018.[2] Australian actress Cate Blanchett acted as president of the jury.[3] The Japanese film Shoplifters, directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, won the Palme d'Or.[4]
Asghar Farhadi's psychological thriller Everybody Knows, starring Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Ricardo Darín, opened the festival and competed in the Main Competition section. It was the second Spanish-language film to open Cannes, following Pedro Almodóvar's Bad Education, which screened on the opening night of the 2004 festival.[5]
The official festival poster features Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina from Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 film Pierrot le Fou. It is the second time the festival poster was inspired by Godard's film after his 1963 film Contempt at the 2016 festival. According to festival's official statement, the poster is inspired by and paid tribute to the work of French photographer Georges Pierre.[1]
Demonstration by female filmmakers demanding equality between men and women in the film industry, 12 May.
