Panda Wins the 2025 Palm Dog Award at Cannes — and a Look-Alike Accepts
- An Icelandic sheepdog named Panda won the Palm Dog award at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, May 23, 2025, in southern France.
- The award honored Panda's performance in the tragicomic film The Love That Remains, directed by Iceland's Hlynur Pálmason, which was screened at Cannes outside of the official competition.
- Panda is a central character, starring alongside Pálmason's real children and retaining her own name as part of the on-screen family over a year following a marriage breakdown.
- Panda could not attend the beachside Palm Dog ceremony held a day before the Palme d'Or announcement, so a local look-alike dog and a film producer accepted the award, while Panda shared a virtual acceptance video filmed on an Icelandic car journey.
- This 25th anniversary Palm Dog event, founded by Toby Rose and a well-loved Cannes fixture, highlights dogs like Panda before the main festival awards dominate, implying continued cultural impact for canine film roles.
