# 2021 Cannes Film Festival

The 74th annual Cannes Film Festival took place from 6 to 17 July 2021, after having been originally scheduled from 11 to 22 May 2021. American filmmaker Spike Lee was invited to be the president of the jury for the main competition for the festival, after the COVID-19 pandemic in France scuttled plans to have him head the jury of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival. French actress Doria Tillier hosted the opening and closing ceremonies.
French filmmaker Julia Ducournau won the Palme d'Or for the horror-drama film Titane, becoming the second female director to ever win the award and the first to not win jointly with another filmmaker (at the 1993 edition Jane Campion had won jointly with Chen Kaige). The Honorary Palme d'Or was awarded to American actress and filmmaker Jodie Foster and Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio.
At the awards closing ceremony, on 17 July 2021, jury president Spike Lee made a gaffe by accidentally announcing the festival's top prize winner at the start of the night instead of the end.
The festival opened with Annette by Leos Carax, and closed with OSS 117: From Africa with Love.
