Cannes is the world’s largest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then fascist-influenced Venice film festival.
It has been held annually since 1946 except in 1948 and 1950, when it was canceled due to lack of funds.
The festival is known for its carefully curated program of films that achieved Oscar glory or launched the careers of directors like Quentin Tarantino.
Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Palme d’Or, whose previous winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.
Jane Campion became the first director to win in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a gap of almost three decades until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.
Justine Triet became the third director to win the award last year with Anatomy of a Fall.
There is also an honorary Palme d’Or, which is awarded in recognition of notable works, including Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda and Clint Eastwood.
This year there are two honorary winners: George Lucas, of ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones’, and Japanese animation legend Studio Ghibli, the first group to receive the award.
Other awards include the Grand Prize, Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Short Film.
