François Chalais Prize
The François Chalais Prize is awarded at two main events, the Cannes Film Festival and the Young Reporters' Awards. It was created to pay tribute to French journalist and film historian François Chalais, under the auspices of his wife Mei Chen. It rewards a film dedicated to the values of life affirmation and of journalism, and highlights the presence of journalists at Cannes itself. It has also offered awards for the Film Festival of Sarlat, and for the Scénario Honfleur.Cannes Film Festival Prize winners
