The 31st Cannes Film Festival was held from 16 to 30 May 1978. The Palme d'Or went to The Tree of Wooden Clogs by Ermanno Olmi.[4] This festival saw the introduction of a new non-competitive section, 'Un Certain Regard', which replaces 'Les Yeux Fertiles' (1975-1977), 'L'Air du temps' and 'Le Passé composé'.[5]

The festival opened with Moy laskovyy i nezhnyy zver, directed by Emil Loteanu[6][7] and closed with Fedora, directed by Billy Wilder.[8]
