Cannes International Film Festival 2014

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 67th Cannes International Film Festival took place from May 14th to 25th, 2014. The film festival opened with Olivier Dahan's biography Grace of Monaco , which ran out of competition. In protest against the film, the Princely House of Monaco did not attend the opening of the Cannes Film Festival. The closing film of the film festival was the feature film For a Fistful of Dollars by Sergio Leone, restored in 4K2K .

This year the New Zealand director Jane Campion was the president of the international jury, which awards the Palme d' Or . Due to the European elections on May 25th, the festival winners were announced a day earlier than usual. The moderator of the opening ceremony and the award gala was the French actor Lambert Wilson .

The Golden Palm went to the film Winterschlaf (English festival title: Winter Sleep , original title: Kış Uykusu ) by Nuri Bilge Ceylan , who was also a favorite in the run-up.

The festival poster showed the Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni in a scene from the film by Federico Fellini from 1963. In the film, he sees Claudia Cardinales film character Claudia, pulling his sunglasses down slightly and looking over the glasses. The film ran out of competition at the film festival in 1963. The design of the poster comes from Hervé Chigioni and Gilles Frappier .
