CANNES, France (AP) — Halle Berry, Jeremy Strong and Indian
filmmaker Payal Kapadia will be among the jury members at this
year's Cannes Film Festival deciding the Palme d'Or winner.
Festival organizers on Monday unveiled the eight jury members
who will join president Juliette Binoche at the 78th edition of
the French film festival next month. The other jurors are
Italian actor Alba Rohrwacher, Korean filmmaker Hong Sangsoo,
Congolese director Diedo Hamadi, Mexican filmmaker Carlos
Reygadas and French-Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani.
Many of the jurors have previous experience at Cannes. Last
year, Kapadia became the first Indian filmmaker in the
festival's prestigious competition lineup in 30 years with “All
We Imagine As Light.” Last year's festival also featured “The
Apprentice,” which starred Strong, though he didn't attend
because he was performing on Broadway.
The Cannes Film Festival runs May 13-24. Among the films vying
for the Palme d'Or are Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme,”
Ari Aster’s “Eddington,” Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value,”
Kelly Reichardt’s “The Mastermind,” Richard Linklater’s
“Nouvelle Vague” and Lynne Ramsay's “Die, My Love.”
