    BUDAPEST: Hungarian director and scriptwriter Ildikó Enyedi will chair the Short Film and La Cinef juries at the upcoming edition of the 76th Cannes Film Festival, which will be held 16 – 27 May 2023.

    “When in 1989, in that magical year of change in Europe, I arrived in Cannes with my first feature film - with exhibitions banned, a student film banned and many difficulties - it was an unbelievable feeling. (…) Till this day I remember every moment of the time spent in Cannes. I am sure that those young filmmakers who present their short films in this year’s festival feel the same positive shock. (…)  I root for them!”, Ildikó Enyedi  said in a statement.

    The Short Film and La Cinef juries include scriptwriter/director Ana Lily Amirpour (Iran/USA), actress/director Charlotte Le Bon (Canada), actress Karidja Touré (France) and director/scriptwriter/actor/producer Shlomi Elkabetz (Israel).
