It is up to the jury chaired by American filmmaker Spike Lee to decide between the 24 feature films in the running.
They will have to award the seven essential prizes: the palm of gold, the grand prize, the prizes for the direction, the jury, the screenplay and the prizes for female and male interpretation.
Locked up, the group spent a few hours of debates that we imagine ignited in a Cannes villa, as tradition dictates.
