Invited to bring their unique sensibilities to the Official Selection, the Jury members came together from all over the world for 12 days in the darkened halls of the Palais des Festivals, as they went about picking the winners of the 72nd Festival de Cannes. 21 films in Competition, 18 films in the Un Certain Regard Selection, 27 first films competing in the Caméra d'Or, 10 short films and 17 film school entries. Through their discussions, their choices and favourites, each of the Jury members brought their own distinctive voice to the 2019 list of best picks.
Now that the films are being shown week after week and embarking on their international careers, we look back, in a series of interviews, at how these films seemed to the Jury members who watched them in Cannes last May.
