Feature films in competition at the Cannes Film Festival

Each entry in the films is a feature film that appeared in the official selection during a festival year (starting in 1946 and active to the present day). The year column refers to the year of the festival and this figure doesn't always coincide with the release year of the film. The film's title reflects the most common title of the film in English, where the original_title column provides the title of the film in its spoken language (transliterated to Roman script where necessary).
