It is worth mentioning that in the nine-member jury, women occupy five seats. This is the second time in the history of the Festival de Cannes that more women than men have been represented in the main competition jury. The last time was in 2018, when Kate Blanchett chaired the jury for the 71st edition, also five women and four men.
The five women in this year's jury are Mati Diop, a director with dual Citizenship of France and Senegal, Mylène Farmer, a musician with dual citizenship of Canada and France, Maggie Gyllenhaal (Daughter of Glory), An Austrian director Jessica Hausner, and French actor Mélanie Laurent, "Shameless Bastards"). Together with Spike Lee, Song Kanghao, Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Bucklaw) and French actor Tahar Rahim (The Prophet), they will decide where this year's Palme d'Or will go.
This year's Cannes Film Festival poster is intended to pay tribute to director Spike Lee.
