Yesterday, oneday_odoc posted the photo above on Instagram. The photo shows the jury, headed by Roman Polanski, for the third Avoriaz International Festival of Fantasy Films in 1975. This, then, is the outstanding jury that awarded Brian De Palma's Phantom Of The Paradise the festival's Grand Prix that year, clockwise from the left: René Barjavel, Paul Guimard, Françoise Sagan, Costa-Gavras, Roger Vadim, Claude Chabrol, Bernadette Lafont, Roman Polanski, César, Edouard Molinaro, Jean-Louis Bory, Jacques Monory, Jean-Jacques Pauvert, and Serge Gainsbourg. Also in the picture, at far right, is festival creator Lionel Chouchan.
Aside from the Grand Prix for Phantom Of The Paradise, a special jury prize that year was shared by Larry Cohen's It's Alive and Saul Bass' Phase IV. The critic's prize was given to Alan J. Pakula's The Parallax View.
