Rodrigo Sorogoyen to Head Cannes’ Critics Week Jury Including Daniel Kaluuya, Jihane Bougrine,Josée Deshaies, Yulia Evina Bhara (EXCLUSIVE)
Spanish filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen is set to preside over the jury of Cannes' Critics Week which will include Daniel Kaluuya, among others.
Critics Week, which is curated by Ava Cahen and champions first and second films, has assembled an eclectic jury around Sorogoyen, including Oscar-winning British actor Daniel Kaluuya, Moroccan journalist and songwriter Jihane Bougrine, French-Canadian cinematographer Josée Deshaies, and Indonesian producer Yulia Evina Bhara. “To offer Rodrigo Sorogoyen the presidency of the Semaine de la Critique Jury is to show him all the love we have for his cinema, but also our confidence in his benevolent eye and judgment,” said Cahen, artistic director of Critics Week. “A parallel selection that only accepts short films and first or second features allows for a unique springboard to launch and strengthen young directors’ careers,” Sorogoyen continued, adding that “without such spaces, we would keep rewarding, screening, and giving voice only to those who have already established their paths, overlooking emerging concerns and forms.”
