Organized by the Commission supérieure technique de l’image et du son (CST), this award, created in 1951, recognizes a professional for the outstanding artistic and technical contribution to a film in the Official Competition, highlighting the essential role of behind-the-scenes talent in cinematic creation.

For this 2026 edition, Lise Fischer joins a distinguished jury alongside Alice Cambournac, Bertrand Cocteau, Yolande Decarsin, Jean-Marie Dreujou and Laure Gardette.

We warmly welcome this decision by the CST. Lise Fischer’s professionalism, kindness, impartiality and strong expertise in image post-production bring a valuable perspective that will meaningfully contribute to the jury’s deliberations.

The winners will be announced during the Festival de Cannes awards ceremony.
