Peter Jackson receives honorary Palme d'Or after ejection for shorts in 1987

Sir Peter Jackson received an honorary Palme d'Or at Cannes on Friday, capping a career that began when he was ejected from the festival in 1987 for wearing shorts. His debut film Bad Taste, made with friends on weekends in Wellington, sold to America and transformed him from photo engraver to filmmaker. Jackson is now working on his long-delayed Tintin.
