At which film festival did Pulp Fiction win the Palme d'Or?

Pulp Fiction won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Its victory came at the 47th Cannes Film Festival in May 1994, where Quentin Tarantino’s crime film premiered in competition and took the festival’s top prize.

The award was a major breakthrough for Tarantino and helped turn the independently produced film into an international sensation. Pulp Fiction later received seven Academy Award nominations and won Best Original Screenplay for Tarantino and Roger Avary.

A common mix-up is confusing Cannes’ Palme d’Or with awards from other major European festivals. Berlin awards the Golden Bear, Venice awards the Golden Lion, and Sundance uses different top prizes. Cannes’ signature honor is the Palme d’Or, making Cannes Film Festival the single canonical answer.
