Cannes Festival Jury Revealed

The jury for the Cannes Film Festival, which will be held May 11-22, has just been announced.

Mexican actress Salma Hayek, Spanish actor Javier Bardem and Chinese director John Woo will be part of the full-length film panel.  They will join writer Toni Morrisson and French directors Benoît Jacquo and Agnès Varda.  The jury will be lead by Serbian director Emir Kusturica.

The official jury was revealed a week after the announcement of the films that have been nominated. 

Each year, the festival organisers must put together four panels to judge the films in the competition, in the four different categories.
