The 42nd Cannes Film Festival took place from 11 to 23 May 1989. West German filmmaker Wim Wenders served as jury president for the main competition.[4]
American filmmaker Steven Soderbergh won the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, for his debut film Sex, Lies, and Videotape.[5][6][7][8]
During the 1989 festival, the first Cinéma & liberté forum was held with the participation of a hundred famous directors from various countries. They discussed about the freedom of expression and signed a declaration protesting against all forms of censorship still existing in the world.[9]
The festival opened with New York Stories, an anthology film by Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese,[10] and closed with Old Gringo by Luis Puenzo.[11][12]
