Sean Penn - Cannes Festival head of jury
Pack your bags for France baby, this year’s head of the festival jury Sean Penn is recently single and the south of France is going to be one popping party zone!
Penn heads the jury for the 61st annual Festival de Cannes, taking place from May 14th to 25th, 2008. He accepted an invite to the French Riviera from festival director Gilles Jacob and film selection guru Thierry Fremaux.
Upon accepting this duty, Sean Penn said:
“In the last few years, it seems there has been a rejuvenation of cinema building worldwide; increasingly thoughtful, provocative, moving, and imaginative films by talented filmmakers: that a new generation of filmmaking may have begun. The Cannes Film Festival has long been the epicenter in the discovery of those new waves of filmmakers from all over the world. I very much look forward to participating in this year’s festival as president of the jury,”
