The Palme d'Or (Palme d'Or, in French) is the highest award given by the Cannes Film Festival, and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry.

Between 1946 and 1954 it had not yet been created, so the Jury awarded the Grand Prix of the International Film Festival. It was created in 1954 at the initiative of Robert Favre Le Bret and was awarded for the first time in 1955. It is one of the most outstanding awards granted in the cinematographic circuit. It has been awarded sixty-eight times to ninety-six films, since in the early years it was awarded to several films at the same time, as in the festivals of 1946 and 1947, and in eleven other editions it has been awarded to two films at the same edition. Authors of twenty-seven nationalities have received it, the United States being the country with the most winners with fourteen award-winning authors, followed by Italy with twelve, the United Kingdom with nine, France with eight, and Japan and Denmark with four palms each.

History of the award

Palme d'Or de Viridiana (1961).

The first Cannes Film Festival had to be canceled in 1939 due to the declaration of war that France and England made on Germany. Sixty-three years later, in the 2002 edition, the Jury awarded the prizes to that 1939 edition (the films had already been selected, but the war prevented the voting from taking place). The official website of the Festival takes as its first edition the one that took place in 1946, which is why at the end of 2015 there are 68 editions.

It has been awarded sixty-eight times to ninety-six films, since in the early years it was awarded to several films at the same time, as in the festivals of 1946 and 1947, and in eleven other editions it has been awarded ex aequo to two tapes in the same edition. Authors of twenty-seven nationalities have received it, the United States being the country with the most winners with fourteen award-winning authors, followed by Italy with twelve, the United Kingdom with nine, France with eight, and Japan and Denmark with four palms each.

The authors who have received the most palms, all with two, are: the Swedish Alf Sjöberg, the American Francis Ford Coppola, the Japanese Shohei Imamura, the Serbian Emir Kusturica, the Danish Bille August, the Belgians Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, the German Michael Haneke and the British Ken Loach.

Critical and commercial prestige

Considered one of the most important cinematographic distinctions, its attribution includes important artistic, financial and media issues: a guarantee of quality for the French and international public, it allows its winner to obtain a worldwide reputation, easily find a distributor and multiply by ten or even a hundred the number of spectators in cinemas.

Design

Palme d'Or of the film Apocalypse Now in 1979

In 1997, Caroline Scheufele, co-chairman and artistic director of Chopard jewelry, met Pierre Viot, then director of the Cannes Film Festival. When he was examining the trophy that was in Viot's office, he proposed to him to design a new version of the Palme d'Or. The following year, during the closing ceremony of the Festival, the new Palme d'Or was presented to the world with the appearance with which it is recognized today.

The Palme d'Or, whose motif is a direct reference to the palms of the famous Croisette and the arms of the city of Cannes, is made up of 118 grams of 18-karat yellow gold ethically Fairmined certified,[ citation needed] that has a heart shape at the base. For its preparation, a wax mold is used to which gold is injected, which is then polished until the desired finish is achieved, highlighting its fine leaves, which rest on a rock crystal cushion in the shape of an emerald-cut diamond with rock crystals that they are never identical.

Since then, Chopard and the Cannes Film Festival have formed a resplendent duo. In addition to the Palme d'Or and its two miniature versions, which since 2000 have honored the prizes for female and male interpretation, the House's workshops produce, for the first time, five "mini-Palmas" for recipients of the "Grand Prize", the "Prize for Staging", the "Script Prize", the "Jury Prize" and the "Palme d'Or for Short Film" awarded by the jury of the Cannes Film Festival. Until then, these five prizes were awarded through the delivery of a diploma.
