Veteran French actor Vincent Lindon will head the main jury at this year´s Cannes Film Festival which awards the coveted Palme d´Or top prize, organisers said Tuesday.
The jury under Lindon, who co-starred in the 2021 winner "Titane", will choose between 21 movies in the main competition at the film fest which runs from May 17 to 28.
Lindon, 62, will be accompanied by eight fellow jurors.
They are British actress and director Rebecca Hall, Indian actress Deepika Padukone, Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, Italian actress and director Jasmine Trinca, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, French director Ladj Ly, American director Jeff Nichols, and Norwegian director Joachim Trier.
The line-up for this year´s festival, the 75th Cannes edition, is a mix of cult arthouse directors and Hollywood glamour.
Canadian horror maestro David Cronenberg, US filmmaker James Gray and France´s Claire Denis are among the competitors for the Palme d´Or.
They are expected to bring a bevy of stars to the red carpet, with Cronenberg´s sci-fi/horror cross-over "Crimes of the Future" starring Kristen Stewart, Lea Seydoux and Viggo Mortensen.
