69th Cannes Film Festival Unveils Full Jury

Cannes: The complete panel of jury’s list for the 2016 Cannes Film Festival has been revealed and it features a number of past prize winners.

Jury president George Miller will be joined by a bevy of past prize winners on this year’s Cannes Film Festival jury.

American actor Kirsten Dunst, who won the Best Actress prize at Cannes for Melancholia in 2011 and starred in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006), and Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, who won the Best Actor prize four years ago for his performance in The Hunt, are among those who will walk the red carpet.

Hungarian director Laszlo Nemes — whose first feature Son of Saul was a major surprise last year, winning the fest’s Grand Prize and going on to win the Best Foreign-Language Film Oscar — also will be on this year’s panel.

Italian actor and director Valeria Golina, probably best known to American audiences for her role in Rain Man but known in her native Italy as an actor, director and writer, also will be on the Cannes jury. Her Honey (Miele) appeared in the Un Certain Regard section in 2013 and took home the Ecumenical Jury prize.

Cannes regular Arnaud Desplechin, the Cesar-winning French filmmaker that has had five movies in the main competition and last year’s My Golden Days in the Un Certain Regard sidebar, also will join the panel of jury.

Legendary actor Donald Sutherland and French actress Vanessa Paradis also have been named to the panel.

Iranian producer Katayoon Shahabi will round out the jury.

The 69th Cannes Festival will take place from May 11 to May 22 this year.
