Together with eight jury members, the actor who won Best Actor in 2015 will present the Palme d’Or to one of the 21 films in competition on Saturday, May 28, during the closing ceremony, to be broadcast live by France Télévisions and Brut.
Isabelle Huppert was the last French star to be Jury President in 2009. In the history of the Festival, French celebrities have often held this role in an anniversary year, such as Yves Montand in 1987 for the 40th Festival, Gérard Depardieu in 1993 for the 45th Festival, and Isabelle Adjani in 1997 for the 50th.
We are also announcing that Jasmine Trinca’s first feature film Marcel! will be presented
in Special Screening.
“It is a great honor and source of pride to be entrusted, in the midst of the tumult of all the events we are going through in the world, with the splendid, weighty task of chairing the Jury of the 75th International Cannes Film Festival.
With my Jury, we will strive to take the best possible care of the films of the future, all of which carry the same secret hope of courage, loyalty, and freedom, with a mission to move the greatest number of women and men by speaking to them of their common wounds and joys. Culture helps the human soul to rise and hope for tomorrow.”
Vincent Lindon, Jury President
After the coronation of Titane, Palme d’Or 2021, in which he starred with Agathe Rousselle, Vincent Lindon returns to the Croisette, no longer on but facing the screen of the Théâtre Lumière of the Palais des Festivals. He will have the task of presenting the supreme award to the successor of Julia Ducournau, the second woman director to win the Palme d’Or after Jane Campion in 1993.
The male lead in this sensational film about tattered identities and claimed monstrosity, the actor impacted bodies, hearts, and minds, totally imbued with his role as a wounded fireman, like each of his compositions, whether a business owner (Ma petite Entreprise), a Calais swimming instructor (Welcome), a bricklayer (Mademoiselle Chambon), a Prime Minister (Pater), a humanitarian (Les Chevaliers Blancs), a long-term unemployed man (La Loi du marché), a sculptor (Rodin), a star reporter (L’Apparition) or a union delegate (En guerre). A physical actor, worthy heir to Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura, and Patrick Dewaere, he shares with his elders a magnetic and rough presence, where a rare and always vivid sensitivity emerges. Instinctive and passionate, Vincent Lindon is a powerhouse of tension and emotion. Freed from the shackles of modernity, committed and sometimes rebellious, Vincent Lindon knows no boundaries with his struggling characters and his universal stories. His search for authenticity naturally leads him to take on the political and social ills of our time —injustice, xenophobia, impoverishment— in order to better understand them; and to reflect, by underlining without judgment, the contradictions of a defeated humanity that strives to remain dignified; and by knowing how to sway its own certainties.
A longtime faithful friend of the Festival de Cannes, with 9 feature films presented in Cannes since 1987, culminating in the Best Actor award received from the Coen brothers in 2015 for La Loi du marché, he is also loyal to his directors in his filmography of more than 70 films: Claire Denis and Claude Lelouch on three occasions, Benoît Jacquot, Pierre Jolivet and of course Stéphane Brizé, who directed him in five films.
Titane has allowed Vincent Lindon to collect numerous nominations and recognitions in the United States, including the Los Angeles Critics’ Best Actor Award. Since the 2021 Festival de Cannes, he has presented films in the three other major film festivals in Europe: Venice (Un autre monde by Stéphane Brizé), San Sebastian (Enquête sur un scandale d’État by Thierry de Peretti) and Berlin (Avec amour et acharnement by Claire Denis).

Pierre-Henri Gibert

A pioneering post-war female film director, an instigator of the New Wave who was honored by Hollywood in her own lifetime, Agnès Varda has become a source of inspiration for a whole new generation of young filmmakers. With movies like Cléo de 5 à 7, Le Bonheur, Sans toit ni loi, Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse, she created a quirky, open to the world, sensitive to the disenfranchised, often silly body of work. Always one finger on the pulse, she shook everything up, including cinema itself which she refused to constrict to pure fiction or long-form films.
Screening in the presence of Pierre-Henri Gibert, Rosalie Varda and Mathieu Demy.
Anita
Svetlana Zill and Alexis Bloom
1h50, United States of America
An SK Global Entertainment production.
An exploration of the life of Anita Pallenberg, European actress and rock ’n’ roll muse. Told in Anita’s own words, from her unpublished memoir, and in the words of her family, this bittersweet film is a never-seen-before look at life with The Rolling Stones. Using Super 8mm home movies shot in the 1960s and 1970s, and contemporary interviews, the filmmakers weave together an intimate and profoundly moving story. Anita was a woman with a wild life: she dazzled the Festival de Cannes Film Festival and and inspired love in those around her, including Tilda Swinton who performed the voice over of the film.
Screening in the presence of Svetlana Zill and Alexis Bloom.

Not easy being his father’s son. Especially in Hollywood. Especially when his father was for more than 30 years one of the major figures of American cinema. Eldest son of the tremendous Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas took a long time to emerge from the father’s shadow. By tracing his tormented life, this documentary shows us how Michael, an actor and producer like his father, had to accept their resemblance throughout his exceptional career to assert his difference. The time to learn how to become Michael when your name is Douglas.
