French actress Emmanuelle Béart and Belgian-Congolese director/songwriter Baloji will co-preside over the Caméra d’Or jury of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
The Caméra d’Or is awarded to the best first feature film in Cannes’ Official Selection, or in the parallel Critics Week or Directors’ Fortnight sections.
Béart’s long list of credits include 8 Women (2002), Mission: Impossible (1996), Nelly & Monsieur Arnaud (1995), Heart In Winter (1992), La Belle Noiseuse (1991) and Manon Des Sources (1986).
Baloji won the New Voice Prize in Un Certain Regard last year for his debut feature Omen.
This year’s Caméra d’Or jury includes director of photography Gilles Porte, TSF’s Pascal Buron, screenwriter and director Zoe Wittock, and journalist Nathalie Chifflet.
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.
Last year’s Caméra d’Or was awarded to Pham Thien An for Inside The Yellow Cocoon Shell by a jury presided over by French actress Anaïs Demoustier.
