Who will be the 2024 Jury President?
Filmmaker, screenwriter, and actress Greta Gerwig. After her record-breaking year at the global box office with Barbie (the biggest hit of 2023 with $1.4 billion worldwide and over 5.8 million admissions in France), she is taking on the role of President of the Jury of the 77th Cannes Film Festival at the young age of 40.
This appointment is a clear choice for Festival President Iris Knobloch and General Delegate Thierry Frémaux, who stated in a press release that the American filmmaker “boldly embodies the renewal of world cinema. (…) Beyond the 7th Art, she also appears as the representative of an era that breaks down borders and mixes genres to make intelligence and humanism triumph.”
