This list of award winners at the 2024 Festival de Cannes indicates the very high status of the Un Certain Regard (In Some Perspective) section. It ranks below only the In Competition section.
The Camera d’Or (Golden Camera) prizes, which were the best that Indians had won till then, are listed next
When Anasuya won her prize, Indpaedia volunteers worked through the night to research and create a page about her because it was the highest prize ever won by an individual Indian till that day.
