The Prix Louis-Delluc is, since 1937, the principal tographic reward Cinéma French annual. This price is called thus in homage to Louis Delluc. The biography of Louis Delluc was written by its nephew, Gilles Delluc: Louis Delluc, the eveillor of the French cinema (Pilot 24, 2002).

Since 2000, it was seen associating a Prix Louis-Delluc of the first film .

Environment

The price rewards every year, second Thursday of December, the best French film left during the year. Its jury is composed of a score of criticisms and personalities of the cinema, under the presidency of Gilles Jacob and the deliberations take place at the restaurant Paris IEN Fouquet' S on the Fields-Élysées. By analogy, it is often called the Prix Goncourt of the cinema.
It arrived some times that the price rewards a film which had not left yet: it was the case in 1958 for Me, a black left in March 1960, in 1979 for the King and the bird , left in rooms next in March, and 1982 for Danton , left next in January.

The rewarded films constitute a particularly coherent whole of films combining artistic requirement, Cinéma of author and public recognition. They are indifferently first films (Rappenau in 1965 or Sandrine Veysset in 1996) or works of experienced and recognized authors (Godard in 1987 or Chabrol in 2000). Among those, Alain Resnais it received three times (1966, 1993 and 1997) and Michel Deville twice (1967, 1988) like Claude Sautet (1969 and 1995).

It was founded in 1937 by Maurice Bessy and Marcel Idzkowski in homage to Louis Delluc (1890 - 1924), first journalist French specialized in the cinema and which had founded the Ciné-club S.
