After British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker last year, Leïla Bekhti will serve as President of the Un Certain Regard Jury at the 79th Festival de Cannes. She and her four jury members, Senegal’s producer Angèle Diabang, Lebanon’s composer Khaled Mouzanar, Italy’s director Laura Samani, and France’s director Thomas Cailley, will be tasked with selecting the winners of this selection, which celebrates young, auteur-driven cinema and new discoveries.
Last year, Chilean filmmaker Diego Céspedes won the Un Certain Regard Prize with his highly acclaimed debut film, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo.
