François Chalais Prize

The François Chalais Prize (French: Prix François Chalais) is awarded at two main events, the Cannes Film Festival (since 1997)[1] and the Young Reporters' Awards (since 1999).[2] 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 (2006–2009),[3] and for the Scénario Honfleur (2006–2009).[4] 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 and rewards a film dedicated to the values of journalism.[5]
