The 2015 Festival de Cannes, one of the world’s oldest and best-known film festivals, ran from May 13 to 24 in Cannes, France. Heading the jury that selected the festival’s top prize (the Palme d’Or) were the idiosyncratic American directors Joel and Ethan Coen. French director Jacques Audiard’s Dheepan, about refugees fleeing Sri Lanka’s civil war for a new life in Paris, won the 2015 Palme d’Or.
