The 69th Cannes Film Festival took place from 11 to 22 May 2016.[4] Australian filmmaker George Miller was the president of the jury for the main competition.[5] French actor Laurent Lafitte was the host for the opening and closing ceremonies.
British filmmaker Ken Loach won the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, for a second time with the drama film I, Daniel Blake,[6][7] which also served as closing film of the festival.[3] At a press conference, Loach said that he was "quiet stunned" to win.[8]
The festival opened with Café Society by Woody Allen.[2][9]
