variety.comPatrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief The Critics Week section of the Cannes film festival has set Spanish director Rodrigo Sorogoyen as the president of the jury for its 63rd edition.
Sorogoyen is known for films including “Stockholm” in 2013, “The Candidate” in 2018, and “The Beasts” from 2022. The Beasts last year earned him the best foreign film prize at France’s Cesars awards.
Sorogoyen also wrote and executive produced TV series “Antidisturbios.” “It is a big responsibility, one that I look forward to very much,” said Sorogoyen in a Spanish-language video message posted to social media. “The Critics Week supports and rewards directors’ first and second feature films as well as short films, thus providing vital support to cinema, new voices and new ways to tell stories.
Without these new voices there would be no new cinema. They’re the ones who make it live and make it work.” Rodrigo Sorogoyen sera le Président du Jury de la 63e Semaine de la Critique ! #sdlc2024 #rodrigosorogoyen #Cannes2024 https://t.co/PZvFBgf14I The Cannes festival’s official sections are scheduled to announce the main elements of their selections on April 11.
