The Cannes Film Festival has announced that acclaimed South Korean director Park Chan-wook will serve as the jury president for its 2026 edition. Park, recognized for his influential films such as Oldboy and No Other Choice, will lead a nine-member jury tasked with awarding the prestigious Palme d'Or among other honors. The jury features prominent figures including Demi Moore, Stellan Skarsgård, and Chloé Zhao, reflecting a blend of star power and critical acclaim. The festival, set to take place from May 12 to 23, 2026, is one of the most prestigious in the film industry, attracting international attention. This year, however, there is a notable lack of entries from major Hollywood studios, indicating a shift in the festival's competitive landscape.
