8. SOUNDBITE (Korean) Park Chan-Wook, director/winner of Best Director award:
"As I said before on stage, I realized the importance of theater in the COVID era, but in Cannes, which has been completely normalized, the experience of enjoying (the film) in the best theater, with the best system, sound, and image with the audience made me think a lot. I am reminded of how precious this is when I'd taken a theater for granted. So, it is really precious to share that joy with filmmakers from all over the world."
9. Mid of Song Kang Ho with his award
10. SOUNDBITE (Korean) Song Kang Ho, actor/winner of Best Actor award:
"I had no idea. That's the beauty of the Cannes. You don't know which award you're going to get. And only 7 films out of 21 best films from the award get selected so it's an honor to be part of those seven films. Winning an award among those films, it was a very nerve-breaking experience at the awards."
11. Mid of Zar Amir-Ebrahimi
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Zar Amir-Ebrahimi, actor/winner of Best Actress award:
"You know, I have a very special (inaudible). I have to say, I, I think this prize just tell me that I gave everything. I lost everything once in Iran and then I came to Iran, to France and I started everything from zero. It was not easy. It took me years to be able to just, to be able to just get into the cinema again and the playing and, you know, be myself. And I think I just have to say that it is possible, even if everyone in the world wants you to be down. If you want to it is possible and this is the message that I have tonight. And I think we all women around the world in Iran especially, we need to be confident in ourselves."
13. Close of Claire Denis
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Claire Denis, director/co-winner of Grand Prix award:
"I feel like a little bit fragile and a little bit strong. I don't know exactly the exact feeling. It's a feeling of happiness, amazement and missing my actors because we left yesterday. But I want to, in the distance, I congratulate them a lot. They were my companions."
