The Cannes Film Festival organizers have unveiled the nine-member jury that will determine the recipient of this year’s prestigious Palme d’Or. The 79th edition of the renowned film festival will commence on May 12th, with the introduction of the main competitive jury program taking place seven days prior to the opening. Leading the jury is South Korean director Park Chan-wook, who will oversee the evaluation of films competing for the top prize.
Joining him will be a diverse group of accomplished filmmakers and actors, including actress Demi Moore. Other jury members include Chloe Zhao, Stellan Skarsgård, Ruth Negga, Laura Wandel, Diego Cespedes, Isaach De Bankole, and Paul Laverty.

Moore’s film, “The Substance,” is scheduled for its premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The jury’s deliberations will form a central element of the festival’s proceedings, culminating in the announcement of the Palme d’Or winner.
