Alice Rohrwacher to lead Cannes Caméra d’Or jury
Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher has been selected to preside over the Caméra d’Or jury at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, running May 13-24.
The Caméra d’Or (golden camera) is awarded to the best first feature film in Cannes’ Official Selection, or in the parallel Critics’ Week or Directors’ Fortnight sections.
Last year’s prize went to Norwegian director Halfdan Ullmann Tøondel for his Un Certain Regard premiere Armand.
Rohrwacher is a Cannes regular whose own debut feature Heavenly Body premiered in Directors’ Fortnight in 2011 and her follow-up film The Wonders won the Grand Prix in Competition in 2014.
