MORE CANNES ANNOUNCEMENTS
Cannes Jury
The jury for the 65th Cannes Film Festival has been named and includes some familiar faces not the least of which is recent Telluride regular and recent Oscar winner Alexander Payne. Payne's presence again underscores the web of connections between the French fest and the one that takes place in Colorado on Labor Day.
