The Cannes Film Festival is an annual event held in Cannes, France, typically in May. It is one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, showcasing a wide range of international films and attracting filmmakers, celebrities, and industry professionals from around the globe.
The 76th Cannes Film Festival was held from May 16 to 27, 2023, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, France. Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund served as jury president. The opening film was Jeanne du Barry, directed by Maïwenn.
The festival was notable for the return of several high-profile filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Francis Ford Coppola. Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, a Western starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, was one of the most anticipated films of the festival. Spielberg's The Fabelmans, a semi-autobiographical film about his childhood, was also a major draw. Coppola's Megalopolis, a science fiction epic starring Adam Driver, was his first film in seven years.
Other notable films at the festival included Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster, and Elvis, a biopic about the King of Rock and Roll starring Austin Butler. The festival also featured a number of films from female filmmakers, including Claire Denis' Stars at Noon, Kelly Reichardt's Showing Up, and Todd Field's Tár.
The Palme d'Or, the festival's highest award, was awarded to Triangle of Sadness, a satire about fashion models and oligarchs directed by Ruben Östlund. Other major awards included the Grand Prix for Close, a drama about a young woman with autism directed by Lukas Dhont, and the Jury Prize for EO, a documentary about a donkey directed by Jerzy Skolimowski.
