Jeff Nichols is one of the most exciting filmmakers around and he is set to return with his new film Loving - his second feature film of the year.

The movie is set to receive its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this week and a brand new teaser trailer has been released to celebrate that premiere.

Loving is set to compete for the prestigious Palme d'Or at this year's festival and could be a first win for the filmmaker.

As well as being in the director's chair, Nichols also shows off his writing skills having penned the film's screenplay.

The movie sees the filmmaker reunite with Joel Egerton - the pair has previously worked together on Midnight Special. Egerton star alongside Ruth Negga as they take on the central roles of Richard and Mildred Loving.

Michael Shannon, Marton Csokas, Nick Kroll, and Alano Miller complete the film's cast list.

Loving celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving, who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown.

Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry - making their love story an inspiration to couples everywhere.

There's currently no official UK release date for Loving but it will be released in the U.S. on 4th November.
