Cannes: Leïla Bekhti To Preside Over Un Certain Regard Jury
French actress Leïla Bekhti has been announced as President of the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard Jury.
She will be joined by Senegalese producer Angèle Diabang, Lebanon’s composer Khaled Mouzanar, Italy’s director Laura Samani, and France’s director Thomas Cailley.
Bekhti follows in the footsteps of UK filmmaker Molly Manning Walker in 2025 whose jury awarded Chilean filmmaker Diego Céspedes the Un Certain Regard Prize for his debut filmThe Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo.
“For my first time as Jury President, I will find myself in the unique position of watching, listening, sharing, and celebrating. Working in cinema has taught me that movies are places of encounter with others, with oneself, with the world,” said Bekhti.
