List of Cannes Film Festival jury presidents
Each year, the jury of the Cannes Film Festival is chaired by an internationally recognized personality of cinema. Being appointed to this position is the recognition of an outstanding career.
Originally occupied by a French personality, the position was opened to foreign figures starting in the 1960s. Typically, the role is assigned to a film director or an actor. However, several individuals outside the film industry have held the position, including italian theatre director Giorgio Strehler and novelists Françoise Sagan, Miguel Ángel Asturias, Georges Simenon, and William Styron (the last non-professional film personality to serve as jury president). The first woman to hold the position was British and American actress Olivia de Havilland in 1965. Since 1960, only one person has received this honor twice: french actress Jeanne Moreau in 1975 and 1995. In 2015, the jury presidency was awarded for the first time to two individuals: American filmmakers Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.
Since 1987, the Official Selection includes a separate jury and its President in the frame of the Caméra d'Or which chooses its best feature film presented in one of the Cannes' selections (Official Selection, Directors' Fortnight, or International Critics' Week). Since 1998, another separate jury and its President have been added for the films of the Un Certain Regard section.
