CANNES, France -- He's taken Manhattan, and once again Woody Allen took Cannes, if not by storm, then with a light flurry of soggy jokes, a soupçon of charm and a couple of movie stars in tow.

Gus Van Sant (født den 24. juli 1952) er en amerikansk filminstruktør. Han begyndte sin karriere med at instruere reklamer, men midt i 1980'erne gik han over til at lave spillefilm. Han er nok mest kendt for at instruere Good Will Hunting, som gav ham en Oscar-nominering. Gus Van Sant har også lavet en nutidig remake af Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho fra 1960. Han lavede remake-filmen med nøjagtig de samme fotografiske vinkler som i den gamle version. Filmen havde premiere i 1998 og havde bl.a. danskeren Viggo Mortensen på rollelisten. Derudover vandt han Den Gyldne Palme i 2003 for filmen Elephant.
