Members of the 79th Cannes Film Festival jury, led by award-winning filmmaker Park Chan-wook, arrived at the Martinez Hotel on Monday (May 11) ahead of the opening of the festival on Tuesday (May 12).

The Korean director, known for films including “Thirst” (2009) and “No Other Choice” (2025), will sit on the panel alongside “The Substance” star Demi Moore and Swedish actor, Stellan Skarsgard.

The jury also includes “Hamnet” director, Chloe Zhao, actor Ruth Negga and screenwriter Paul Laverty.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival, which runs until May 23, will pit stalwarts of arthouse cinema such as Poland's Pawel Pawlikowski and Spain's ‌Pedro Almodovar against a small pool of newer voices.

A-listers with films premiering this year include Scarlett Johansson, Rami Malek, ⁠Javier Bardem, John Travolta and Lea Seydoux.
