Cannes Film Festival

The 28th Cannes Film Festival was held from 9 to 23 May 1975. The Palme d'Or went to the Chronique des Années de Braise by Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina.[4][5] In 1975, a new section, "Les Yeux fertiles", which was non-competitive, was introduced. This section, along with sections "L'Air du temps" and "Le Passé composé" of the next two years, were integrated into Un Certain Regard in 1978.[6][7]

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