According to the festival official site, Natalie Portman’s short film Eve, in which Natalie makes her directorial debut, will be premiering on September 1 at the Venice Film Festival in Italy! Please visit the film festival official site at LaBiennale.org for more information.

We here at Portman Source will of course do our best to cover the premiere, media- as well as review-wise. Stay tuned! A huge thank you to Luca for the heads-up.

As most of you will already know, the 2008 Cannes Film Festival wrapped up on May 25; hopefully, for my sake, this update will wrap up the photo coverage, which has been quite extensive throughout the festival. I’ve just finished uploading nearly 450 site-exclusive hi-res photos of Natalie’s various Cannes appearances. It’s nearing 4 a.m. for me, however, so without further ado, enjoy the new photos.

My apologies for the few days’ delay in updates - I don’t have access to internet on weekends. At any rate, the 2008 Cannes Film Festival is finally over, as the festival closing ceremony was held yesterday — but the media coverage isn’t. Here’s our 5th big batch of medium- and hi-res photos — however, I have so many photos yet to add you can expect more Cannes photo updates throughout the week. Anyway, I’m running out of power here (for a change), so without further ado, here are today’s updated photo albums.

More photos! On May 19, Natalie attended the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Le Silence de Lorna, looking absolutely amazing, as usual, while yesterday she was spotted at the festival premiere of Che, as gorgeous as ever. 100+ medium- and hi-res photos of Nat at the events have been added to the gallery, alongside some other Cannes hi-res photo additions. Still more to come!

Please note that I am constantly adding new medium- and hi-res Cannes additions to the gallery, even though I’m not necessarily posting updates about them (mainly due to online time restrictions). Do check back for daily new additions!

Finally, a proper update on the recent big photo additions at the gallery. As most of you will already know, Natalie has been granted the honor of juror at the ongoing 2008 Cannes Film Festival, and we here at Portman Source are, of course, doing our best at keeping up with the photo flow. Nat was last seen on May 18 at the festival premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull looking as classy and glamorous as ever, and tons of medium and hi-res photos of her on the red carpet have been added to the gallery.

The third big batch of medium- and hi-res photos of Natalie’s festival opening day appearances has also been uploaded to the gallery, which you’ll hopefully enjoy browsing through. We have at least one more big photo batch coming up, so stay tuned. A huge thank you for the medium-res footage goes to my good friend Filip of Cameron Fan. Keep your eyes peeled for more photos, as the festival will run until May 25.

Personally, I couldn’t be more excited about Natalie’s festival style if I tried. I am particularly in love with Nat’s opening ceremony look, which to me is flawless, right down to the beautifully done hair. Stylewise, Natalie never disappoints.

I am seconds away from running out of battery, however I wanted to let you know another big batch of photos of Natalie at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival has been added to the gallery. A proper update will be posted some time next week.

As earlier reported, Natalie is one of this year’s jury members at the Cannes Film Festival, which opened yesterday, on May 14. There’s tons of media coverage available of her first appearances at the event, and here’s our first batch of photos. Expect many, many more medium- and hi-res photos later this week - I’m running out of battery here so this is all for today.

And may I just add Natalie looks absolutely phenomenal in these photos! What a style chameleon she is.
