"We were aiming to do a wild, entertaining movie where we had a content that we thought was important, where the audience should discuss afterwards. (...) I'm very very happy that the jury acknowledged that", says Swedish director Ruben Östlund, a surprise winner of the Palme d'Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival, earning a place among the select group of directors who have won the festival's top prize twice.

Cannes, Jul 18 (EFE/EPA).-France's Julia Ducournau made history here Saturday, becoming only the second woman ever to receive the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival as the 74th edition of the event drew to a close.But the official announcement of Ducournau's "Titane" as the recipient of the Palme d'Or was something of an anti-climax because the jury president, Spike Lee, let slip the identity of the winning film at the start of the ceremony.

DIRECTOR AND SCRIPTWRITER OF TITANE, WINNER OF PALME D'OR.- I believe and I hope that today's award was given only because of my film. I sincerely hope that it has nothing to do with my gender because I believe that gender does not define me as a filmmaker nor as a person. I am not only about my gender. I don't think so. I am the second woman to receive this award and I thought a lot about Jane Campion tonight. I wondered what it would be like for her to be the first. And I must say that the fact that I'm the second suggested that this is a movement in progress. I am the second so there will be the third, the fourth, the fifth.- It is never easy to be free. I believe that you have to fight all the time, no matter what happens, no matter what the circumstances. Freedom, unfortunately, is not something you acquired. And we are talking about the Cannes festival, of course, we are not talking about other things. I think freedom can only come from within. It is a struggle, a constant struggle.2. ASGHAR FARHADI, DIRECTOR OF GHAHREMAN, GRAND PRIX EX-AEQUO WINNER.- I am very happy. I was already so when I saw that I was going to be in the festival. I must say that I did not believe it would be possible at the beginning. I was going to be a jury in this edition. They had proposed it to me and when they proposed it I said no , I told them I had a film to present and I had a chance to do so. And to be able to discover it here together with the Cannes public has been a great honor.3. NADAV LAPID, DIRECTOR OF HA'BERECH,JURY PRIZE WINNER EX-AEQUO WINNER.- I think that in Israel there are many people who are convinced that everything that happens in the solar system is kind of against Israel, that the Cannes festival has been invented against Israel, that the film was invented to smear Israel, and that was the last goal of the Lumiére brothers. So I think we can calm down a bit.
