More Cannes Awards go to ‘120 Beats Per Minute,’ ‘Visages, Villages’ – and a Poodle

“120 Beats Per Minute,” “Visages, Villages” and the poodle from “The Meyerowitz Stories” are among the winners in various Cannes Film Festival Awards, which are handed out in the run-up to the big prizes that will be bestowed on Sunday at the conclusion of the festival.

Robin Campillo’s “120 Beats Per Minute” won the FIPRESCI award for the main competition, while Kantemir Balagov’s “Closeness” (“Tesnota”) was the choice in the Un Certain Regard competition and Pedro Pinho’s “The Nothing Factory” (“A Fabrica de Nada”) won the award for Directors’ Fortnight or Critic’ Week.

“Visages, Villages,” a collaboration between legendary French director Agnes Varda and JR, took the Golden Eye Documentary Prize, which was open to nonfiction films from all sections of the festival.

The Jury Prize went to a dog from the Critics’ Week entry “Eva,” with a special mention to Cannes’ own bomb-sniffing dogs, part of the festival’s biggest-ever security force.
