In 2024, at the Cannes Film Festival, close to the announcement of the Palm Dog Award, the Palm Dog Team and the Black Dog Team gathered on the beach to enjoy the sunlight, champagne, and coastal view, while chatting about their newly premiered film "Black Dog," which is in the Un Certain Regard competition.

Dog actor Xin won the "Grand Jury Award" at the 2024 Cannes Palm Dog.

The film "Black Dog" won the Un Certain Regard Award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival

In this chat, we discussed several critical issues happening on a global scale about what "Black Dog" aims to express to its audiences:

We talked about the performances of the dog actors in the film and how humans and animal actors interact and protect each other during the filmmaking process.

Additionally, as filmmakers, we called on the world to strengthen animal protection measures and to help more grassroots organizations manage the adoption and care of stray animals.
