Jakarta, Aug. 29 -- The Jakarta World Cinema (JWC) international film festival will open and close with a brace of Cannes winners, Joachim Trier's 'Sentimental Value' and Jafar Panahi's 'It Was Just an Accident,' reported Variety.

Iranian director Jafar Panahi accepted the Palme d'Or for 'It Was Just an Accident,' a film directly inspired by his time in prison at the 78th Cannes Film Festival.

Norwegian director Joachim Trier's layered family drama 'Sentimental Value' won the Grand Prix award at Cannes 2025.

The film narrated a tale of a filmmaker attempting to reconcile with his estranged daughter by casting her in his most personal film to date -- an offer she can't help but interpret as the man's most egotistical gesture yet.
