Gianfranco Rosi to chair the Golden Eye jury
- Created last year, the award is given to the best documentary from across all of the Cannes selections
The Golden Eye Award (L’Oeil d’or) was instigated in 2015 by Scam (the Civil Society of Multimedia Authors) and Julie Bertuccelli, with "the active involvement of the Cannes Film Festival" and in conjunction with the Ina.
