François Chalais Prize

The François Chalais Prize is awarded at two main events, the Cannes Film Festival and the Young Reporters' Awards. It has also offered awards for the Film Festival of Sarlat, and for the Scénario Honfleur.
The François Chalais Prize was created in 1996 by his wife Mei-Chen Chalais to pay tribute to the work of the great reporter and film-maker who covered nearly fifty editions of the Festival. It is awarded each year on the eve of the official competition awards announcement and rewards a film dedicated to the values of journalism.
