In 1983, the new building for the main events of the festival, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, was inaugurated. Initially many described it as "a hideous concrete blockhouse", nicknaming it The Bunker. The festival opened with The King of Comedy, directed by Martin Scorsese and closed with WarGames, directed by John Badham.
