Cannes Film Festival

The 59th Cannes Film Festival was held from 17 to 28 May 2006. Chinese filmmaker Wong Kar-wai served as jury president for the main competition, the first Chinese to preside over the jury.[2] English filmmaker Ken Loach won the Palme d'Or for the war drama film The Wind That Shakes the Barley.[3][4][5][6]

The official poster for the festival features a still image from the Wong Kar-wai's 2000 film In the Mood for Love, which won the Best Actor award at the 53rd edition of the festival.

The festival opening film was The Da Vinci Code directed by Ron Howard.[7] While Transylvania by Tony Gatlif was the closing film.[8]

This edition also marked the first time in three years that no American film, actor, actress, or filmmaker won any awards in Cannes.
