Cannes Film festival 2025: The big festival culminated last night with Jafar Panahi redeeming himself with a Palme d’Or for his film It Was Just An Accident. The ace filmmaker made a film about his time in prison and won the coveted award for the same. The 78th Cannes Film Festival bestowed its highest honour on a film that follows five characters who think they’ve identified the prosecutor who tortured them during their own arrests — but as they were all blindfolded in jail, none can be entirely certain their captive is the same man.<h2>Jafar Panahi wins big prize</h2>Jafar Panahi is a master filmmaker. He was arrested and convicted for “propaganda against the regime” in 2010. He continued making films, even when he was forbidden from doing so. In 2011 when he couldn't attend the festival, he sent a flash drive with his film This Is Not A Film.

Cannes 2025: Big news from Cannes Film Festival as Iranian director Jafar Panahi won the Palme d’Or for It Was Just an Accident, a film directly inspired by his time in prison.

Cannes Film festival 2025: The big festival culminated last night with Jafar Panahi redeeming himself with a Palme d’Or for his film It Was Just An Accident. The ace filmmaker made a film about his time in prison and won the coveted award for the same. The 78th Cannes Film Festival bestowed its highest honour on a film that follows five characters who think they’ve identified the prosecutor who tortured them during their own arrests — but as they were all blindfolded in jail, none can be entirely certain their captive is the same man. Jafar Panahi wins big prize Jafar Panahi is a master filmmaker. He was arrested and convicted for “propaganda against the regime” in 2010. He continued making films, even when he was forbidden from doing so. In 2011 when he couldn't attend the festival, he sent a flash drive with his film This Is Not A Film. He has remained a vocal critic of the regime and speaks against government. Thanking his family, Jafar Panahi said, “I think it’s the moment to ask everyone, all the Iranians with opinions different from others, in Iran and throughout the world…I’d like to ask them one thing: Put all the problems and differences aside.

As Donald Trump floats the idea of a 100% tariff on foreign entertainment, fans of international content may be forced into a real-life cliffhanger.

Foreign shows face 'tariff' tension

As Hollywood is still trying to understand what a possible 100% tariff on foreign films could mean, following a dramatic post from President Donald Trump suggesting that such a move is on the table, the White House seemed to walk back on what US President Donald Trump said on Monday (May 05).
<h2>White House walks back Trump&rsquo;s post</h2>
On Monday, the White House stepped in to clarify the situation. Spokesman Kush Desai told The Hollywood Reporter, &ldquo;Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump&rsquo;s directive to safeguard our country&rsquo;s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again.&rdquo;

Here is its story</a>
The statement suggests the plan is still in its early stages, with the legal and logistical details far from finalised. Industry experts have raised questions about whether such a tariff could even be applied, given the complexity of taxing services like film production, especially when international co-productions and streaming content blur geographical lines.
In a social media post on Sunday night, Trump claimed, &ldquo;The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,&rdquo; and said a foreign film tariff could help revive it.

The White House has voiced concern that too many U.S. productions are being shot overseas, lured by lower labour costs and generous tax credits. While some American states also offer tax incentives, they are often not enough to compete with countries that provide substantial financial breaks to foreign film crews.

<h2>Hollywood confused and concerned</h2>
The unexpected announcement has left many in the entertainment world scrambling for answers. There&rsquo;s uncertainty around whether the tariffs would affect TV shows, streaming platforms, co-productions, or even films partially produced in the US but completed abroad.
Executives, filmmakers, and producers are unsure how such a policy would be implemented or how it might impact projects already in progress.
<h2>Special ambassadors named as Hollywood plan develops</h2>
Trump has appointed actors and directors Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone, and Mel Gibson as &ldquo;special ambassadors&rdquo; to Hollywood. According to reports, Voight has been working on a strategy to bring more film production back to the U.S., though it&rsquo;s unclear if tariffs were ever part of that plan.
Ironically, Mel Gibson himself could be directly affected. His next film, a follow-up to The Passion of the Christ, is set to begin filming in Italy later this year, potentially making it one of the first projects hit by the proposed tariff&nbsp;if it ever moves forward.

World: In a social media post on Sunday night, Trump claimed, “The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,” and said a foreign film tariff could help revive it.

As Hollywood is still trying to understand what a possible 100% tariff on foreign films could mean, following a dramatic post from President Donald Trump suggesting that such a move is on the table, the White House seemed to walk back on what US President Donald Trump said on Monday (May 05). White House walks back Trump’s post On Monday, the White House stepped in to clarify the situation. Spokesman Kush Desai told The Hollywood Reporter, “Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump’s directive to safeguard our country’s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again.” Also read: 'Prison of last resort': Alcatraz, where Trump wants to send toughest criminals, once housed Al Capone.
