Un certain regard (a certain glance or a particular outlook) is a section of the Cannes Film Festival's official selection. It is run at the salle Debussy, parallel to the competition for the Palme d'Or.
This section was introduced in 1978 by Gilles Jacob. Each year, it presents a score of films with all kind of visions and styles; "original and different" works which seek international recognition.

Famous quotes containing the word regard:
“I regard almost all quarrels of princes on the same footing, and I see nothing that marks man’s unreason so positively as war. Indeed, what folly to kill one another for interests often imaginary, and always for the pleasure of persons who do not think themselves even obliged to those who sacrifice themselves for them!”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
