The brief ceremony will precede the festival's closing night film, the Pixar animation “Elemental.” Any of the 21 films that played in Cannes' main competition lineup can win the Palme. Among the critical favorites of this year's festival are Jonathan Glazer's “The Zone of Interest,” a chilling Martin Amis adaptation about a German family living next door to Auschwitz; “Fallen Leaves,” Finish filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki's deadpan romance; and “Anatomy of a Fall,” Justine Triet's twisty French Alps courtroom drama. The festival's Un Certain Regard section handed out its awards on Friday, giving the top prize to Molly Manning Walker's debut feature, “How to Have Sex.” Saturday’s ceremony draws to close a Cannes edition that hasn't lacked spectacle, stars or controversy.
