Chronicle of the Years of Fire
The 28th Cannes Film Festival took place from 9 to 23 May 1975. 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.
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.
