American actor Demi Moore, still riding high from the late-career boost of her Oscar-nominated turn in “The Substance”, will join the jury for the Cannes Film Festival 2026, which kicks off next week, organisers announced on Monday.
The film extravaganza on the French Riviera, one of the world’s most important annual cinema events, hands out a host of prizes, including the prestigious Palme d’Or for best film, decided by a nine-person jury.
Demi Moore, 63, along with Chinese filmmaker Chloe Zhao, whose films from “Nomadland” to “Hamnet” have become awards-season favourites, will add some A-list sparkle to the Cannes Film Festival 2026 jury, which also includes Ivorian-American actor Isaach de Bankole, who is set to play in the upcoming third instalment of the “Dune” franchise.
As previously announced, the jury will be headed by arthouse South Korean director Park Chan-Wook (“Oldboy”).
Besides Demi Moore, other jury members in Cannes Film Festival 2026 are Irish-Ethiopian actor Ruth Negga, Belgian director Laura Wandel, Chilean director Diego Cespedes, Irish screenwriter Paul Laverty and Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard.
The Cannes Festival runs from May 12 to 23.
