CANNES, 28 MAY – The historic director of Cannes, Gilles Jacob, said, “if you want the jury to work well, choose the president carefully, then the other jurors with him and make sure they know who decides”. In this edition, however, the president of the jury, Vincent Lindon, opted for democracy, bringing home an almost record result: more awards than jurors, 10 winners and only 9 judges who – Lindon himself admitted – have always decided by majority. “This jury taught me – says the president – to watch a film, letting it grow in memory and discussion. I have rarely seen so much mutual respect between artists and so much warmth in defending each one what he loved rather than dismantling what bothered him “. “Today we say goodbye with a full heart – says Jasmine Trinca – because for 10 days we breathed together that unique experience which is living emotions together in the darkness of the room. Because we did this, we put our heart and the utmost respect for every film we saw and we found this emotion as mere spectators again this evening, finally seeing the winners among us and keeping a thought for those who are not there. they were and remain in our hearts and in our memory ”.
