Baloji And Emmanuelle Béart To Preside Over Cannes Caméra D’Or Jury For Best First Film
Caméra D’Or is handed to first time filmmakers.
The Caméra d’Or Jury has been co-chaired three times before: by actress Françoise Fabian and director Daniel Schmid in 1996, by Marthe Keller and Géraldine Chaplin in 2002, and by brothers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne in 2006. Announcing the pair today, the festival described Baloji and Demoustier as “free spirits with no limits, who rely on their art to achieve creative freedom.” Baloji is best known for his directorial debut Omen, which debuted at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it picked up the New Voice Prize in Un Certain Regard. Baloji And Béart follow French actress Anaïs Demoustier, whose 2023 jury handed the Caméra D’Or to Pham Thien An for Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell.
