Jaguar is a 1979 Filipino neo noir crime film directed by Lino Brocka.[1] It was entered into the 1980 Cannes Film Festival.[2] The story is based on the real-life "Brown Derby Shooting" in 1960 as documented by Quijano de Manila in the article "The Boy Who Wanted to Become Society", later republished in the non-fiction crime anthology, Reportage on Crime (1977).[3][4]

The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first Filipino film to compete in the main competition of the festival.[5] It won Best Picture and Best Director at the 1980 FAMAS Awards.[6][7] It also won five Gawad Urian Awards, including Best Picture and Best Direction. Anita Linda was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Urian Awards.[8]

A 4K restoration of the film is set to premiere at the 16th Lumière Film Festival in October 2024 in Lyon, France.[9]
