Robert de Niro will receive the Honorary Palme d’Or at the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. The tribute will take place during the opening ceremony on May 13.
On the following day, de Niro will take part in a masterclass on the stage of the Debussy Theater.
“I have such close feelings for Festival de Cannes…,” de Niro said about the upcoming lifetime achievement tribute at the festival. “Especially now when there’s so much in the world pulling us apart, Cannes brings us together — storytellers, filmmakers, fans, and friends. It’s like coming home.”
As previously announced French actor Juliette Binoche will succeed Greta Gerwig as jury president of this year’s festival. It will mark a second time in Cannes history that the jury will headed by a woman for two consecutive years.
