The 68th Cannes Film Festival took place from 13 to 24 May 2015.[1] Ethan and Joel Coen and were the Co-Presidents of the Jury for the main competition,[2] marking the first time that two people co-chaired the jury.[3] Since the Coen brothers each received a separate vote, they were joined by seven other jurors to form the customary nine-juror panel.[4] French actor Lambert Wilson was the host for the opening and closing ceremonies.[5][6][7]

French filmmaker Jacques Audiard won the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, for the drama film Dheepan.[8][9] During his speech, Audiard stated that "receive a prize from the Coen brothers is something pretty exceptional. I'm very touched".[10] French film director Agnès Varda was presented with the Honorary Palme d'Or at the festival's closing ceremony. She was the first female filmmaker to ever receive the award.[11]

The festival's official poster featured Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, photographed by David Seymour. The poster was chosen to pay tribute to Bergman for her contributions to films, whom also served as the Jury President at 1973 Cannes Film Festival. As part of the tribute, the documentary Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words was screened in the Cannes Classics section.[12]

The festival opened with Standing Tall by Emmanuelle Bercot,[13] and closed with Ice and the Sky by Luc Jacquet.[14] Both the opening and closing films were selected for the strength and importance of their messages; Standing Tall for the way its themes respond to the Charlie Hebdo shootings and Ice and the Sky for its concern for the future of the planet.[14][15][16]

The edition was infamously marked by artistic director Thierry Frémaux pledge to celebrities to abstain from taking selfies on the red carpet. While he did not have the powers to ban the pictures from the red carpet altogether, Fremaux urged celebrities to resist the temptation.[17]
