The 69th Festival de Cannes will be presided by the Australian director, screenwriter and producer, George Miller.
Along with his Jury, it will fall to him to award the Palme d'or at the close of the Festival, to be held from 11 to 22 May.
On receiving his invitation from the Festival, George Miller exclaimed, "What an unmitigated delight!
To be there in the middle of this storied festival at the unveiling of cinematic treasures from all over the planet.
To spend time in passionate discourse with fellow members of the jury.
Such an honor.
I'll be there with bells on!"
It was in Cannes last May that Mad Max: Fury Road set out on its fantastic cavalcade across our screens.
The film, shown Out of Competition in the Official Selection, marked the return not only of the hero of the legendary saga for the millions of fans of Max Rockatansky, but also THE COMEBACK of his creator, George Miller, and of the visionary filmmaking that made him a household name around the world.
