but Friday’s winner of the annual Cannes Film Festival tradition was a Panda.Panda, though, is an Icelandic sheepdog who stars in “The Love That Remains,” from Icelandic director Hlynur Pálmason. Always positioned at the tail end of the festival, the beachside Palm Dog ceremony comes a day before the winner of the festival’s Palme d’Or is announced.

Pálmason’s tragicomic film, which premiered at Cannes not in competition, follows five characters — Panda included — over the course of a year after the breakdown of a marriage. Panda is ever-present and very much part of the on-screen family and at the heart of the movie. Panda, who retains her name in the film, is Pálmason’s dog and stars alongside his real-life children in the movie, which may explain the award-winning performance.While Panda sadly could not be there to collect the award, a look-alike local pooch was on hand to collect the coveted dog collar along with one of the film’s human producers. Panda did make a virtual appearance with an acceptance video, on a car journey through Iceland. She succeedsfrom “Dog on Trial.”

This year’s awards marked the 25th anniversary of the much-loved event. Palm Dog founder Toby Rose explained that it has had more impact that he could imagine, becoming a fixture at Cannes.“We honor the four-legged here just so they get a bit of their moment before the big dresses and the tuxedos take over,” Rose said.
