The 66th Cannes Film Fest was held May 15 to 26, 2013.
Steven Spielberg was president of the main competition jury.
New Zealand film director Jane Campion was the head of the jury for the Cinéfondation and Short Film sections.
French actress Audrey Tautou hosted the opening and closing ceremonies.
Actress Kim Novak was named guest of honor, introducing a new restored version of Hitchcock’s 1958 masterpiece, Vertigo.
The festival opened with The Great Gatsby, directed by Baz Luhrmann, and closed with Zulu, directed by Jérôme Salle.
The poster featured Paul Newman and his wife-actress, Joanne Woodward.
The Bling Ring, directed by Sofia Coppola, opened the Un Certain Regard series.
The French erotic melodrama, Blue Is the Warmest Color, won the Palme d’Or.
Along with the director, the Jury decided to take “the exceptional step” by awarding the film’s two main actresses, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, with the Palme d’Or.
Celebrating 100 Years of Indian Cinema, India was the Official Guest Country: seven Indian features were shown in various sections.

Awards[edit]
Official selection[edit]
The French film Blue Is the Warmest Colour, directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, won the Palme d’Or.[33] In a first for the competition, the jury decided to award the Palme d’Or to Kechiche and the actresses who star in the film: Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux.[34] Blue Is the Warmest Colour is a coming-of-age film that tells the story of a lesbian relationship between a 15-year-old girl and an older woman.[35] It has shocked some critics with its graphic and controversial sex scenes.[35][36] A reporter for the Radio France Internationale stated that Kechiche paid tribute to the “Tunisian revolution” and “the right to love freely” during his acceptance speech.[37] The president of the jury, Steven Spielberg, said “The film is a great love story … We were absolutely spellbound by the two brilliant young actresses, and the way the director observed his young players.”[36] The Grand Prix was won by the Coen brothers’s Inside Llewyn Davis, while Bruce Dern and Bérénice Bejo were awarded Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.[34]
