2019 Cannes Jury to Include Elle Fanning, Yorgos Lanthimos, and More

The opening night of Cannes Film Festival is less than two weeks away, and we finally learned the names of this year’s jury members. The festival organizers recently unveiled a pretty impressive list of jurors, who are set to judge the movies in the main competition.

Eight film professionals from all around the globe will join the president Alejandro González Iñárritu in Cannes this month. He’ll have great company in Oscar-nominated directors Yorgos Lanthimos and Paweł Pawlikowski, American actress Elle Fanning, Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher, French writer Enki Bilal, French filmmaker Robin Campillo, Senegalese actress Maimouna N’Diaye, and American director Kelly Reichardt.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival will kick off on May 14, with Jim Jarmusch’s zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die serving as the opening film. The line-up also includes Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life, Pedro Almodóvar’s Pain and Glory and Ken Loach’s Sorry We Missed You – but we’ll have to wait until May 25 to see if any of these films take the coveted Palme d’Or.
