Eight of the nine nominees played at this year's Festival de Cannes. They include well-received films such as The Artist by Michel Hazanavicius, La Guerre est déclarée (Declaration of War), Valérie Donzelli, and Le Havre by Aki Kaurismäki. The last two films are submissions by Finland and France respectively for the Academy Award's Best Foreign Language Film category.
The exception that didn't play at the Cannes Festival is Tomboy by Céline Sciamma. However, the Prix du Jury (Jury Prize) winner from Cannes, Polisse by Maïwenn, did not make the short list.
The jury is composed of 20 members, made up of a group of film critics and personalities who are culturally significant. Gilles Jacob is the president of the jury, and perhaps not coincidentally the president of Festival de Cannes.
Last year's winners of the Prix Louis-Delluc were Mystères de Lisbonne (Mysteries of Lisbon) by Raoul Ruiz, and Belle Epine (Beautiful Thorn) by Rebecca Zlotowski.
The Prix Louis-Delluc will be awarded on December 16, 2011 at Fouquet's in Paris.
