Caméra d'Or
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caméra d'Or ("Golden Camera") is an award of the Cannes Film Festival for the best first feature film presented in one of the Cannes' selections (Official Selection, Director's Fortnight or International Critic's Week).[1] The prize, created in 1978 by Gilles Jacob[2], is awarded during the Festival's Closing Ceremony by an independent jury[3].
