Cannes Film Fest 2022: Awards in All Categories

Just hours before this year’s Cannes Palme d’Or prize announcement, the International Federation of Film Critics (Fipresci) has awarded Leila’s Brothers its Prize for best film in Cannes main competition.  

Two time Oscar winner De Niro was presented with honorary award and auctioned off a photo painted by his father that sold for $534,900.

The film received an uproarious 12-minute standing ovation, the longest of this year’s festival so far.

“Cinema is not dead! Cinema is alive and will never die–Cannes Fest director Thierry Fremaux.
