Many of the jurors have previous experience at Cannes. Last year, Kapadia became the first Indian filmmaker in the festival’s prestigious competition line-up in 30 years with All We Imagine As Light. Last year’s festival also featured The Apprentice, which starred Strong, though he didn’t attend because he was performing on Broadway.

The Cannes Film Festival runs May 13-24. Among the films vying for the Palme d’Or are Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme, Ari Aster’s Eddington, Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind, Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague and Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love.
