The 14th Cannes Film Festival was held on 3-18 May 1961.[3] The Palme d'Or went to the Une aussi longue absence, directed by Henri Colpi and Viridiana, directed by Luis Buñuel.[4] The festival opened with Che gioia vivere, directed by René Clément.[5] The festival also screened Shirley Clarke's debut film The Connection due to the efforts of the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics. The success of the film caused the festival to create International Critics' Week the following year.[6]
