The 70th Cannes Film Festival took place from 17 to 28 May 2017, in Cannes, France.[2] Spanish film director and screenwriter Pedro Almodóvar was the president of the jury for the festival and Italian actress Monica Bellucci hosted the opening and closing ceremonies.[3][4] Ismael's Ghosts, directed by French director Arnaud Desplechin, was the opening film for the festival.[5][6]

The festival celebrated its 70th edition. In late March 2017, the official poster of the festival was revealed featuring Italian actress Claudia Cardinale.[1] The actress responded, "'I am honoured and proud to be flying the flag for the 70th Festival de Cannes, and delighted with this choice of photo. It's the image I myself have of the Festival, of an event that illuminates everything around ... Happy anniversary!"[7]

The Palme d'Or was awarded to the Swedish film, The Square directed by Ruben Östlund, which also served as the closing night film of the festival.[8][9][10]
