After Rossy de Palma in 2022, the French actress Anaïs Demoustier will be the President of the Golden Camera Jury of the 76th Cannes Film Festival, which will reward one film among all the first features presented in the Official Selection and in the parallel sections.
The emotion of beginnings, youth as a source of inspiration, freshness as a force of conviction: these are the energies that the Cannes Festival salutes by awarding the Caméra d’or, a trophy symbolizing the primary tool of the cinematographic gaze, and by choosing the actress Anaïs Demoustier to preside over the Jury.
In 2022, the Golden Camera was awarded by the Jury chaired by Rossy de Palma to directors Riley Keough and Gina Gammel for their film War Pony, which will be released in France shortly. The Japanese Hayakawa Chie received a special mention for her film Plan 75. Both films were in Official Selection at Un Certain Regard.
The Jury will award its prize during the closing ceremony of the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, May 27.
