Cannes Film Festival

The 29th Cannes Film Festival was held from 13 to 28 May 1976. The Palme d'Or went to Taxi Driver by Martin Scorsese.[4] In 1976, "L'Air du temps", a new section which was non-competitive and focused on contemporary subjects, was introduced. This section, along with sections "Les Yeux fertiles" of the previous year and "Le Passé composé" of the next year, were integrated into Un Certain Regard in 1978.[5][6]

The festival opened with the documentary That's Entertainment, Part II, directed by Gene Kelly,[7][8] and closed with Family Plot, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.[9]
