French actress Juliet Binos will be the head of the jury of the main competition of the 78th Cannes International Film Festival, which will take place on May 13-24, 2025.
It is noted that her team will determine the winner of the main award of the festival - the golden palm branch.
This event will be significant not only for Binos, but also for the history of the festival. For the first time in a row, the Cannes jury will be headed by women - the actress will change the American director Greta Gretvig, who was the jury chairman in 2024.
“In the 85th year, I first climbed the stairs to introduce a movie at the Cannes Festival. I was born there as an actress. It is a great honor for me to be part of the jury as a president, ”Binos said.
For the first time Juliet Binos came to the Cannes Festival in 1985 with the movie "Date" by director Andre Teschin. Since then, she has played about 70 roles and received a number of prestigious awards, including Oscar, Cesar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, Venice, Berlin and Cannes Festivals.
The 78th Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 13 to May 24, 2025, and the owner of the golden palm branch will be announced at the closing ceremony on May 24.
