Cannes Film Festival, the most prestigious motion-picture festival in the world, is held each May in the city of Cannes, in southeast France. The Cannes Film Festival was conceived at the end of 1938. Due to World War Ⅱ, however, the first Cannes Film Festival was not held until 1946. Internationalism and postwar optimism characterized the first festival, as organizers placed less emphasis on competition than on mutual creative stimulation between national productions. In later years the selection of entries for prizes reflected more commercial interests and the festival soon acquired its current reputation as a fashionable professional event, more concerned with advancing the film industry than the art of film. French director Francois Truffaut addressed this issue in 1956 and predicted its commercial death. The festival survived, however, and in 1959, Truffaut himself was awarded the prize for best screenplay for one of his films.
Despite its ever-present financial interests, the Cannes Film Festival remains an essential affair for international cinema. In 1955 the organizing committee at Cannes introduced the Golden Palm Award (in English) for best film of the festival, now regarded as one of the film industry’s most distinguished prizes. Past recipients of the award include Taxi Driver (1976), by American director Martin Scorsese; and The Piano (1993), by New Zealand director Jane Campion.
选项
A、It is awarded to the best film of the festival.
B、It was introduced in 1959.
C、It was introduced by a commercial organization.
D、Only American directors have received this award.
答案
A
解析
信息明示题。由文章第二段中的for best film of the festival可知,金棕榈奖被授予电影节的最佳影片,所以A正确。电影节组委会于1955年设立了该奖项,所以B、C均不正确。文末提到新西兰导演执导的影片也曾获得过金棕榈奖,排除D。
