Discover film critics’ awards at 79th Cannes International Film Festival.
On May 7, during the Opening Ceremony of the 23rd Millennium Docs Against Gravity, a new international award was introduced – the FIPRESCI Documentary Grand Prix. The first recipient of the Documentary Grand Prix is Fiume o morte! by Igor Bezinović.
The FIPRESCI jury returns to the Cannes Film Festival with its traditional role of recognising outstanding achievements across the festival’s key sections. As in previous years, the jury will present three awards: one to a film in the Main Competition, one to a film in the Un Certain Regard section, and a third to a debut feature selected from the parallel sections, Directors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week. This scope reflects FIPRESCI’s commitment to both established auteurs and emerging voices in contemporary cinema.
