This has to be one of the latest announcements for a Cannes jury in recent memory, but we finally have some names.
Back in February, Juliette Binoche was named president of the jury for the 78th Cannes Film Festival, but the jury itself had yet to be unveiled, that is, until today.
Joining Binoche is a diverse group of international artists: American actress Halle Berry, Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia, Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher, Franco-Moroccan author Leïla Slimani, Congolese filmmaker and producer Dieudo Hamadi, South Korean filmmaker Hong Sangsoo, Mexican filmmaker Carlos Reygadas, and American actor Jeremy Strong.
Together, this jury will have to evaluate the 21 films in competition this year, and award the most prestigious prize in film, the Palme d'Or, to the worthiest title. The jury will also be in charge of awarding the Grand Prix, Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.
