The 17th Cannes Film Festival was held from 29 April to 14 May 1964. On this occasion, the Palme d’Or was renamed 'Grand Prix International du Festival', a name that remained in use through 1974, after which it became the Palme d'Or again.
The Grand Prix du Festival International du Film went to the Les Parapluies de Cherbourg by Jacques Demy. The festival opened with Cent mille dollars au soleil, directed by Henri Verneuil.
