The 36th Cannes Film Festival took place from 7 to 19 May 1983. American author William Styron served as jury president for the main competition.
Japanese filmmaker Shōhei Imamura won the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, for the drama film The Ballad of Narayama.[4][5]
In 1983, the festival's new main building, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, was inaugurated.[6] Initially many described it as "a hideous concrete blockhouse", nicknaming it The Bunker.[7]
The festival opened with The King of Comedy by Martin Scorsese,[8][9] and closed with WarGames by John Badham.[10][11]
