Pawel Pawlikowski Wins the Palme d'Or at Cannes for Thomas Mann Cold War Drama Fatherland

Polish-British director Pawel Pawlikowski won the Palme d'Or, the top prize at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, for his black-and-white film Fatherland, which follows exiled German novelist Thomas Mann and his wife Katia as they make a politically charged journey from West Germany to East Germany in 1949 to deliver the Goethe bicentenary address in both Frankfurt and Weimar. The jury, chaired by South Korean director Park Chan-wook, announced the prize at the closing ceremony in the Grand Theatre Lumiere on May 23, 2026. American actress and singer Barbra Streisand received an Honorary Palme d'Or at the same ceremony, presented by jury member Demi Moore, making Streisand only the third artist to receive the honour twice.
