The Cannes Film Festival's official Directors' Fortnight website announced its awards from the Société des Réalisateurs Français, the French directors' group that organizes the event. Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies, Only Yesterday, Pom Poko) and Studio Ghibli's The Tale of Princess Kaguya was screened at the event but did not receive an award. It was the only animated film to screen at the Director's Fortnight event.
