MUMBAI: The jury for the 68th Festival de Cannes will see seven key figures in world cinema from Canada, Spain, the United States, France, Mali, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

This year, directors, screenwriters and producers Joel Coen and Ethan Coen have been named as the two presidents of the Jury.

Along with the Coen brothers, the Jury will thus be made up of nine distinctive voices – four women and five men – each with the same voting rights.

Their task will be to decide among the films in competition and select the prize winners, culminating in the Palme d’or, which will be announced on stage during the festival closing ceremony on 24 May.

The jury members are: Rossy de Palma (actress – Spain), Sophie Marceau (actress, director – France), Sienna Miller (actress – United Kingdom), RokiaTraoré (composer, singer-songwriter – Mali), Guillermo del Toro (director, writer, producer – Mexico), Xavier Dolan (director, writer, producer, actor – Canada) and Jake Gyllenhaal (actor – United States).
