Cannes winners: Bong Joon-ho wins Palme d'Or, 'Young Ahmed' takes home best director award

72nd Cannes Film Festival which has w come to an end screened some amazing inspiring films. Emerging as winners, here are some of films which succeeded in creating a mark at 12-day long festival.

According to CNN, Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho won Palme d'Or, highest hour in world cinema for his seventh feature film, 'Parasite.' It's first time  director has won top prize.

In her first time at Cannes, French-Senegalese director Mati Diop won Grand Prix award for her first narrative feature 'Atlantics,' a magical-realist take on migration in Senegal. This is first time in 72nd year history that a black woman in competition has won an award for a film.

film 'Les Miserables' by Lj Ly and 'Bacurau' by Brazilian duo Kleber Mendonca Filho and Julia Dornelles shared Jury Prize securing third place.

All four prize-winning films dressed hot-button issues: migration in West Africa, contemporary working class struggles in France and South Korea and a satirical riposte to right-wing politics in Brazil.

On or hand, prize for best director was awarded to Dardenne brors for 'Young Ahmed' and screenwriting prize was awarded to Celine Sciamma for 'Portrait of a Ly on Fire.'

Emily Beecham won best actress award for her performance in Jennifer Hausner's 'Little Joe' while Antonio Banderas won best actor prize for Pedro Almodovar's 'Pain and Glory,' in which he played a version of director in Almodovar's fictionalized autobiography.

Camera d'Or, award for best first feature film, went to Cesar Diaz for 'Our Mors,' screening in Critics Week strand of festival.

Several speculations abounded as to whom Alejandro Inarritu-led jury would bestow hours. jury members including Yorgos Lanthimos, Alice Rohrwacher, Kelly Reichardt and Pawel Pawlikowski were considering a tedious task to come up with a name for  Palme d'Or award as y h many strong, distinctive names in ir mind.

decision to award Bong Palme was t wholly unexpected and was a welcome choice among critics, many of whom h lobbied hard for film as it competed against films by or Cannes heavyweights including Almodovar, Quentin Taranti and Ken Loach.

prizes overall followed expectations, although re were gongs for Quentin Taranti's roundly lauded 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' - perhaps ting how this year's jury went for more contemporary stories of issues world is facing today, reported Deline.
