About Black Dog

'Black Dog' tells the story of a damaged loner who returns to his desert hometown after a stint in prison and finds a kindred spirit in an equally world-weary greyhound. The film beat 17 other titles to win the top prize in the festival’s second-most prestigious competitive section, Un Certain Regard.

Cannes Un Certain Regard Prize

According to the official statement, the 2024 Un Certain Regard selection included 18 feature films, with 8 of them being first features also competing for the Caméra d’or. This year's opening film was Rúnar Rúnarsson’s "When the Light Breaks." The jury was chaired by Canadian actor, director, screenwriter, and producer Xavier Dolan, and included French-Senegalese screenwriter and director Maïmouna Doucouré, Moroccan director, screenwriter, and producer Asmae El Moudir, German-Luxembourg actress Vicky Krieps, and American film critic, director, and writer Todd McCarthy.
