The Palme d'Or (English: Golden Palm) is the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival. It was introduced in 1955 by the organising committee. From 1939 to 1954, the highest prize was the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film.
In 1964, it was replaced again by the Grand Prix du Festival before being reintroduced in 1974 as the Palme d'Or.

most of the movies I've seen in film school
Practically the whole of your childhood is dead (including the Powerpuff Girls), bigotry has entered the White House, we are about to face similar problems for the same reason, and Pokémon have taken people out of reality and off of cliffs. It's no wonder I go to the cinema so many goddamn times. However, with all these disinteresting sequels and "original" concepts, I don't see that happening nearly as much as 2016.
As far as I know, there's no farting corpses, very little hot dogs, hardly any seagulls, no chance of cute 3D redheads and a bunch of gems I've already witnessed first at a festival. Until another festival can surprise me, be it Flare, Sundance, LFF or even the LIAF, the most notable experience I can think of as of yet is seeing who else will attend the My Little Pony movie.
One thing's for sure - there will be less to see than last year, and the rising interest in digital releases doesn't help (especially with the region cheats). Will there be another Carol like there was twice last year, not counting their UK releases this year? Or is 2017 just going to be the weakest year for film by far? Unless we act soon, it won't just be democracy that's dead.
Anyway, movies!
2017 released movies I probably want to watch.
In French - as this is a French Festival.
La Palme d'or est la récompense suprême décernée par le jury officiel du Festival de Cannes. Elle est accordée au meilleur film de la sélection officielle, élu parmi ceux en compétition.
De 1946 à 1954, la Palme d’or n’ayant pas encore été créée, le Jury décernait le "Grand Prix du Festival International du Film".
De 1951 à 1954, le Grand Prix est remis sous la forme d'un diplôme accompagné d'une œuvre d'art signée d'un artiste en vogue.
La Palme d’or est créée en 1954 à l’initiative de Robert Favre Le Bret. Elle est décernée pour la première fois en 1955.
De 1964 à 1974 le Festival de Cannes décide de revenir à la remise d’un Grand Prix International en lieu et place de la Palme d’or.
En 1975, la Palme d’or est réhabilitée.
Elle demeure jusqu’à aujourd’hui le prix le plus prestigieux du Palmarès, considéré comme l'une des distinctions cinématographiques les plus importantes à l’international.
