George Miller named head of jury at Cannes Film Festival
Australian moviemaker George Miller has been named Chairman of the International Jury for the 69th Cannes Film Festival. This was reported on the official page of the most prestigious European movie forum. "What an indescribable pleasure it is to be at the center of this festival with its rich and glorious history, which will showcase treasures of cinema from all over the world. I also look forward to a passionate debate with my fellow jury members. It is a great honor and I I will never miss this event! ", the director himself said in a statement on this matter. The movie festival will take place from 11 to 22 May 2016. The full composition of the panel of judges will be announced later. Recall that the world premiere of Miller's latest movie Mad Max 4: Fury Road took place at the 68th Cannes Film Festival. Despite favorable criticism, the movie flopped globally, grossing only $ 375 million on a $ 155 million production budget. However, this did not prevent the movie from becoming one of the favorites for the 2015-2016 award season. The project was nominated for a number of prestigious awards, including the Oscar 2016 and the KinoNews 2016 award. It is not yet known whether the movie will have a sequel.
