Jury president George Miller will be joined by a bevy of past prize winners on this year’s Cannes Film Festival jury.

    Actress Kirsten Dunst, who won the best actress prize for Melancholia in 2011 and starred in Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette,” and Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, who won the best actor prize in Cannes four years ago for his performance in “The Hunt,” are among those who will walk the red carpet with the “Mad Max” director.

    Also included is Hungarian director Laszlo Nemes, whose first feature “Son of Saul” was a major surprise last year, winning the Grand Prize and going on to win the best foreign-language Oscar. Film festival director Thierry Fremaux told The Hollywood Reporter that film was “the biggest revelation” for him last year.

    Italian tri-hypenate Valeria Golina, probably best known to American audiences for her role in “Rain Man” but known in her native Italy as an actress, director and writer, will also be on the jury. Her “Honey” appeared in the Un Certain Regard section in 2013 and took home the Ecumenical Jury prize.

    Legendary actor Donald Sutherland and French actress Vanessa Paradis will also join. Cannes regular Arnaud Desplechin, the Cesar-winning French director that has had five films in the main competition and last year’s “My Golden Days” in the Un Certain Regard sidebar, will also join. Iranian producer Katayoon Shahabi will round out the jury.

    The Cannes Film Festival runs from May 11 to 24.
