George Miller named Cannes jury president

February 2, 2016 by Sara Hemrajani

George Miller is returning to the Cannes film festival this May, this time as jury president.

The Australian director will make his way to the south of France a year after screening Mad Max: Fury Road out of competition. The film’s rave reviews and impressive box office run led to 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Miller’s diverse list of directorial credits range from the original Mad Max with Mel Gibson to The Witches of Eastwick to the animation Happy Feet.

In a statement released by the organisation, the 70-year-old auteur is quoted as saying: “What an unmitigated delight! To be there in the middle of this storied festival at the unveiling of cinematic treasures from all over the planet. To spend time in passionate discourse with fellow members of the jury. Such an honor. I’ll be there with bells on!”

One of Miller’s duties as jury president will be to hand out the prestigious Palme d’Or award. The full line-up is usually unveiled mid-April.

The 69th edition of the Cannes film festival runs from 11th to 22nd May.
