This year's Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump's vow to enact tariffs on international films.
Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end.
Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.
'You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,' says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who's returning to Cannes with 'The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil 's dictatorship.
'You've got to really prepare for the whole experience because it's quite intense - not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.'
Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies 'produced in Foreign Lands' will face 100 percent tariffs.
The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for U.S.-based productions, rather than tariffs. But the announcement was a reminder of how international tensions can destabilise even the oldest cultural institutions.
The Cannes Film Festival originally emerged in the World War II years, when the rise of fascism in Italy led to the founding of an alternative to the then-government-controlled Venice Film Festival.
In the time since, Cannes' resolute commitment to cinema has made it a beacon to filmmakers. Countless directors have come to make their name.
This year is no different, though some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known.
Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) have all unveiled their feature directorial debuts in Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar section.
Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro - who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes - and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.
Meanwhile, Scarlett's directorial debut, Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20.
However, in the wake of his legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni is not expected to attend.
Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette.
But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency,' have been implemented at this year's festival.
According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet.
'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document.
'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.'
The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour.
Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest-profile film screenings across a packed two-week schedule in Cannes.
It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets, and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline-grabbing ensembles.
Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted.
While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.
Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions.
Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements.
In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors).
She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump's biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.

Walking Dead fans only just realising what Andrew Lincoln's real name is – and ‘filthy meaning' behind it
WALKING Dead fans are only just realising what Andrew Lincoln's real name is - and the very 'filthy meaning' behind it. The much-loved British star, 51, was on the gory zombie show for eight years, before quitting in 2018. 5 5 5 But despite it being nearly seven years since he was on the blood thirsty US TV show, fans have only just found out that the actor's name isn't really Andrew Lincoln. In fact, the star, who played tough sheriff Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead, has a very different surname. The actor's real full birth name is Andrew James Clutterbuck. Andrew has previously revealed how he was told to ditch his family name by his first agent, because it made him "sound like a hobbit". But the revelations don't stop there, as according to fans his surname has a "filthy meaning" - although this is just a theory. Taking to Reddit to discuss, one fan said: "it means 's**t shoveler'. This one joked: "The name sounds like a hippogriffs name in Harry Potter - Buckbeak and Clutterbuck!" BECOMING A STAR Andrew got his first taste of fame as the hapless Edgar "Egg" in the BBC 's smash hit This Life, in the mid-90s. Rick Grimes leaves The Walking Dead – but did he survive blowing up the crowd of walkers? The show - which was about about five twentysomethings trying to make it law - was a huge hit, and carried on for two series. This Life made stars out of its cast, which also included Pirates of the Caribbean actor, Jack Davenport. Speaking about playing Egg, Andrew previously told The Guardian: "I love him! "He was a sweet-natured guy and he spoke to a lot of people who had come out of university and were stuck in a rut and were re-evaluating what they wanted to do and believed in.' Andrew's role in This Life was enough to get him noticed, and he was subsequently snapped up by Channel 4 to lead the cast of Teachers. After four series on the show, he left and he got his big break in the movies when he starred in smash hit Christmas comedy, Love Actually in 2003. 5 5 WALKING DEAD FAME Fast-forward seven years later, and Hollywood called and in 2010 he reached a whole new audience on the American TV show, The Walking Dead. With his deep southern drawl, US fans were shocked at the time to learn Andrew was in fact British. During his eight year reign on the show his character, Georgia sheriff Rick, macheted, axed, gunned and spiked at least 150 zombies and quite a few humans. After quitting the show in 2018, he revealed he'd never actually seen an episode of The Walking Dead 'I haven't watched myself for 15 years, because I don't enjoy it," he told The Guardian at the time. "There's a lot of working parts that can change your performance in between you giving it and it going out. "I just realised I'd prefer to have my own imagination about what the story is.'
