In 1993 there was a tie for the Palme d'Or. The top award at Cannes was shared by Jane Campion for "The Piano" and Chen Kage for "Farewell My Concubine."

Campion is in production as writer/director of "Bright Star," with Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw. The film follows the romance of 23-year-old English poet John Keats and his fashionable muse, in the early 1800s.
