Cannes Film Festival

The 30th Cannes Film Festival was held from 13 to 27 May 1977. The Palme d'Or went to the Padre Padrone by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani.[4] A new non-competitive section, "Le Passé composé", is held at this festival only and focuses on compilations. This section, along with sections "Les Yeux fertiles" and "L'Air du temps" of the previous two years, were integrated into Un Certain Regard in 1978.[5][6]

The festival opened with The Bishop's Bedroom, directed by Dino Risi[7][8] and closed with Slap Shot, directed by George Roy Hill.[9]
