The Chilean movie took the top canine prize Friday, a day before the festival\u2019s official awards ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>The quirky tradition on the Cannes beachfront was a celebratory affair, packed with journalists, dog lovers and, of course, plenty of dogs. The sound of barking was interspersed with the clink of wine glasses as eager pups posed for the cameras and socialized with their canine pals. It was bone appetit for the animal guests as they were served gourmet doggie snacks and look-alike local pooches stood in for their famous peers to collect awards.<\/p>\n<p>Screening in the Directors\u2019 Fortnight sidebar, \u201cLa Perra\u201d (Spanish for female dog) follows a solitary woman and her bond with an abandoned puppy, Yuri \u2014 named after the famous Mexican pop star.<\/p>\n<p>When director, Dominga Sotomayor, collected the coveted dog collar, she explained that she rescued two very special dogs to play Yuri, from puppy to adulthood.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cYuri and little Tormenta who played the little Yuri, they are both rescue and they are both happy in their new houses. They were not trained so it was really wild to work with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the ceremony Sotomayor said she wanted to make a film where dogs are not just useful for the story but are like characters themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think both dogs were the heart of the film so I am very happy with this prize,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Both the ceremony\u2019s top awards went to films directed by women \u2014 and also to female dog characters. The Grand Jury prize was awarded to Lola, the border terrier cross who appears in the British movie \u201cI See Buildings Fall Like Lightning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI See Buildings Fall Like Lightning\u201d also picked up the Directors\u2019 Fortnight audience award Thursday. The film follows a group of friends who grew up together in the same building complex, on the cusp of turning 30, facing adulthood and unfulfilled dreams. Director Clio Barnard showed up for doggie celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>After the ceremony she honored Lola\u2019s professionalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved working with her, and I would love to work with her again,\u201d Barnard said.<\/p>\n<p>The Palm Dog Award was founded in 2001 by film journalist Toby Rose with a mission to give equal celebration to canines at Cannes as their human co-stars. Former winners include Messi from \u201cAnatomy of a Fall,\u201d Brandy from \u201cOnce Upon a Time \u2026 in Hollywood\u201d and Uggie from \u201cThe Artist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more coverage of the Cannes Film Festival, visit https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/cannes-film-festival.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=1451\">Maika Monroe, much more than \u2018Scream Queen,\u2019 returns to Cannes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=1453\">Bruce Dern takes a bow at the Cannes Film Festival with a new documentary on his life<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=1455\">Limoncello, coconut oil and tequila combine for a margarita with tropical notes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CANNES, France | A round of a-paws for \u201cLa Perra,\u201d winner of this year\u2019s Palm Dog award at the Cannes Film Festival.
