. She will also be the guest of honor at the opening ceremony, at which she will receive the tribute.
The festival praised Foster, a director, actor and producer, for her “brilliant artistic journey, a unique personality with a modest yet strong commitment to some of the major issues of our time.” As previously announced, Spike Lee will preside over the competition jury. Leos Carax’ “Annette” with Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard will world premiere on opening night.
“Although I had already directed before, my first time on the Croisette was a defining moment for me. Showcasing one of my films here has always been a dream of mine. I am flattered that Cannes thought of me and I am very honored to be able to share a few words of wisdom or tell an adventure or two with a new generation of filmmakers,” said Foster.
