The 37th Cannes Film Festival took place from 11 to 23 May 1984.[1] British actor Dirk Bogarde served as jury president for the main competition.

German filmmaker Wim Wenders won the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, for the drama film Paris, Texas.[2][3]

During this festival, a private group, under the patronage of the festival's authorities held a side event presenting film trailers. A French jury, presided by Saul Bass, awarded its Grand Prize to the trailer for Flashdance.[4]

The festival opened with Fort Saganne by Alain Corneau,[5][6] and closed with The Bounty by Roger Donaldson.[7]
