Actor John C. Reilly will preside over the Un Certain Regard Jury at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, together with French director and screenwriter Alice Winocour, German actress Paula Beer, French-Cambodian director and producer Davy Chou and Belgian actress Émilie Dequenne. Reilly will be in charge of awarding prizes for the Un Certain Regard section, which showcases art and discovery films by young auteurs.
“I have had so many life changing moments at the Festival de Cannes (from my miraculous first trip with Paul Thomas Anderson to celebrating my 50th birthday from the Palais stage!) so to be chosen as the President of Un Certain Regard Jury is truly such an incredible honor. Many of the films I have been lucky to appear in have been selected by the Festival over these many years and nothing feels as special as being invited to this amazing annual gathering of the very best cinema has to offer the world. I look forward to helping launch another generation of filmmakers on this special occasion as the Festival has done since its inception. I am humbled and thrilled. ¡Viva Cinema!” commented John C. Reilly, President of the Un Certain Regard Jury.
This year, 20 films have been selected, including the last addition of Salem by Jean-Bernard Marlin. The 2022 Un Certain Regard top prize went to French directors Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret’s debut feature Les Pires (The Worst Ones).
