Critics' Week ({{langx|fr|link=no|Semaine de la critique}}), until 2008 called International Critics' Week ({{lang|fr|Semaine internationale de la critique}}), is a parallel section to the Cannes Film Festival organized by the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics.

History

Critics' week was created in 1962, after the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics' successful campaign for Shirley Clarke's The Connection to be screened at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival.{{cite web|title=La Semaine de la Critique|url=http://www.semainedelacritique.com/en/la-semaine-de-la-critique-and-its-missions|access-date=30 July 2017}} It is the oldest non-official Cannes sidebar.{{cite magazine|last=Roxborough|first=Scott|date=12 April 2023|title='Happening' Director Audrey Diwan Heads Up Cannes Critics' Week Jury|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/cannes-critics-week-2023-jury-audrey-diwan-president-1235372032/|magazine=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=18 December 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/cannes-2018-critics-week-competition-lineup-female-filmmakers-1201953068/|title=Cannes 2018: Critics' Week Competition Lineup Dominated By Female-Directed Features for First Time in Decade|last=Erbland|first=Kate|date=16 April 2018|website=IndieWire|access-date=18 December 2023}}

Since its creation in 1990 and until 2010, there was no jury at Critics' Week. Journalists of all nationalities were invited to vote at the end of each screening of the films in competition, after which the Grand Prize was awarded. In 2011, on the occasion of its 50th edition, Critics' Week formed an international jury made up of four critics and chaired by Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong. Thereafter, the jury has been presided over by a director and consists of four members with writing, filmmaking, acting or programming backgrounds.{{cite web|url=https://archives.semainedelacritique.com/FAQ.php|title=FAQ|website=archives.semainedelacritique.com|access-date=12 January 2024}} Notable jury presidents have included Bertrand Bonello, Miguel Gomes, Andrea Arnold, Ronit Elkabetz, Valérie Donzelli, Kleber Mendonça Filho, Joachim Trier, Ciro Guerra and Cristian Mungiu.{{cite web|url=https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/405531/|title=Cristian Mungiu will be president of the Critics' Week jury|last=Lemercier|first=Fabien|date=2 June 2021|publisher=Cineuropa|access-date=11 January 2024}}
