The Cannes Film Festival announced Tuesday that it had chosen Juliette Binoche, one of France’s best-known actors, to preside over its 78th edition which will take place in May.

The 60-year-old star of films from “The English Patient” to “Certified Copy” will succeed “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig who served as jury president last year.

Gerwig, the first American film maker to take on the role, and the rest of the jury awarded the Palme d’Or in 2024 to the film “Anora” by Sean Baker.
