This is the highlight of the festival as the twenty three pictures compete for the high profile Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) for best picture.
The twenty three pictures represent a range of countries and directors, from the unknown to the established talents of Fernando Meirelles and Clint Eastwood.
Here are a selection of films that are the highlights of this category.
A city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down.
Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hording the meager food rations and committing horrific acts.
There is however one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine.
There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family.
