CANNES FILM FESTIVAL:

MEMBERS OF THE JURY

Unlike the Academy Awards, which are voted for by thousands of Academy members, the prizes at this year's Cannes Film Festival will be decided by a mere nine people. Whether Quentin Tarantino will let the other eight get a word in edgeways remains to be seen. Ladies and gentlemen, here are the members of the jury...QUENTIN TARANTINO (President): You've probably heard of him. Nabbed the Palme d'Or for Pulp Fiction . Will likely favour off-kilter action fare, which bodes well for Old Boy and Innocence, as he could sell sand in the desert. EMMANUELLE BÉART: If the Mission Impossible  actress has a brain as big as her lips, then expect wise choices. ,EDWIDGE DANTICAT, Haitian-born author of acclaimed novel The Dew Breaker. TILDA SWINTON, the fiercely bright star of last year's well-received Cannes entry Young Adam . KATHLEEN TURNER. Yes, the Body Heat star - who hasn't acted since 2000 - is still alive. BENOÎT POELVOORDE, co-writer/co-director of the blistering Man Bites Dog. The Belgian can chew over screen violence with Tarantino. JERRY SCHATZBERG, the veteran seventysomething director of Palme d'Or-winning Gene Hackman/Al Pacino drama Scarecrow gets defrosted. TSUI HARK, prolific writer,director/producer whose output includes Jet Li's cult classic Once Upon A Time In China. PETER VON BAGH, Finnish film critic and sometime screenwriter. Excuse us for not knowing more.
