This was the last festival under the leadership of founding director Alfred Bauer, whose contract expired on 30 November 1976. Bauer then went into retirement.

On the 200th anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America was the history of the United States at the center of the festival. George Stevens Jr. showed his documentary America at the Movies, Robert Altman Buffalo Bill and the Indians. In addition, competition was the Watergate movie The Untouchables ( out of competition) by Alan J. Pakula and in the International Forum of New Cinema, the documentary The Unquiet Death of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg was shown. Another critical contribution to American history was the re-release of Charlie Chaplin's film A King in New York.
