The 68th annual Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to be held from 13 to 24 May 2015.[1] Joel and Ethan Coen have been announced as the Presidents of the Jury for the main competition.[2] It's the first time that two people will chair the jury.[3] Since the Coen brothers will each get a separate vote, they will be joined by seven other jurors to form the customary nine-juror panel. [4] French actor Lambert Wilson has been announced as the host for the opening and closing ceremonies.[5]
The festival poster features Hollywood star and Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, photographed by David Seymour. The poster was chosen to pay tribute to Bergman for her contributions to films and who also served as the Jury President at 1973 Cannes Film Festival. As part of the tribute to Bergman, the Swedish documentary Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words will be featured in the Cannes Classics section.[6]
Standing Tall, directed by Emmanuelle Bercot, has been announced as the festival's opening film. This will be the second opening film in the festival's history to have been directed by a woman, the first being A Man in Love by Diane Kurys which opened the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.[7] Ice and the Sky, directed by Luc Jacquet, has been announced as the festival's closing film.[8] Both the opening and closing films were selected for the strength and importance of their messages—Standing Tall for the way its themes respond to the Charlie Hebdo shootings and Ice and the Sky for its concern for the future of the planet.<ref name="fremaux-variety>Peter Debruge and Elsa Keslassy (16 April 2015).
