The Cannes Film Festival has announced that Jane Campion will lead the Cinéfondation and Short Film Jury of the 66th Festival de Cannes.
The Cinéfondation and Short Film Jury is comprised of five eminent figures from the worlds of film and literature and they choose their three prize winners from among the Cinéfondation’s selection of film school entrants. Previously this position has been held by Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Michel Gondry, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Martin Scorsese and John Boorman. The jury also chooses the winner of the Short Film Palme d’Or, which is presented during the closing ceremony of the festival.
