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.
