Elle Fanning will preside as a jury member for the L’Oréal prize at the Cannes Film Festival, highlighting support for emerging female talent.
Elle Fanning joins the Cannes Film Festival as a jury member to award the Lights on Women’s Worth prize by L’Oréal Paris, succeeding Kate Winslet. The prize honors emerging female directors of short films.
Fanning, excited, emphasizes the importance of supporting female talent in cinema. The program includes a 20,000 euro grant and a robust support system for filmmakers. In addition to serving as a jury member, Fanning will oversee the screening of the winning films and announce the awards at a special dinner.
Her experience as the youngest jury member in the festival’s history in 2019 makes her well-suited for the role. L’Oréal Paris will host a special screening of previous winners. Alongside Fanning, other prominent personalities such as Viola Davis, Andie MacDowell, and Helen Mirren will participate in the ceremony.
L’Oréal Paris’ commitment to female representation in cinema is evident through this prize. This event promises to be a milestone in promoting female talent in the film industry.
