Palme d'Or

The Palme d'Or is the highest prize awarded to the director of the Best Feature Film at the Cannes Film Festival, introduced in 1955. It was previously known as the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film from 1939 to 1954 and again from 1964 to 1974. The prize is widely considered one of the film industry's most prestigious awards, with only three female directors, Jane Campion, Julia Ducournau, and Justine Triet, having won it as of 2023. The prize has been redesigned several times since its reintroduction in 1975, with its current design featuring a 18-carat yellow gold palm on a crystal cushion.learn more on wikipedia
