Cannes Film Festival

The 28th Cannes Film Festival took place from 9 to 23 May 1975.[4] French actress Jeanne Moreau served as jury president for the main competition.

Algerian filmmaker Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina won the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, for the drama film Chronicle of the Years of Fire.[5]

In 1975, a new non-competitive section, Les Yeux fertiles, was introduced. This section was later integrated into the Un Certain Regard section in 1978.[6][7]

The festival opened with A Happy Divorce by Henning Carlsen,[8][9] and closed with Tommy by Ken Russell.[10]
