The official festival poster was presented in March 2013. After this had been dominated by actresses in previous years, a picture by Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman was selected for the 66th edition . The picture was taken during the shooting of the film A New Kind of Love (1963) and shows the American actor couple lying on the floor and kissing. 2013 marks the fifth anniversary of Paul Newman's death.
Woodward and Newman first appeared together in 1958 in Martin Ritt's southern drama The Long, Hot Summer . With the literary film adaptation, both of them attended the film festival for the first time in the same year , where Newman was awarded the Actor Award for his performance as an unprincipled drifter . It was the beginning of a successful collaboration between Woodward and Newman that lasted for decades. As a director, Newman and his wife realized the Cannes contributions The Effect of Gamma Rays on Marigolds ( Actor Award for Woodward 1973 ) and The Glass Menagerie ( 1986 ).
The original image was graphically edited by the Paris advertising agency Bronx .
Official selection
International competition
Competition jury
Steven Spielberg was presented at the end of February 2013 as the successor to last year's jury president Nanni Moretti . The American earned the reputation of being the most successful director of his generation. With such commercially successful films as Jaws (1975), the Indiana Jones series (1981–2008) or Jurassic Park (1993), Spielberg was long known as the “master of entertainment films ” before Schindler's list also became a great artistic success the international specialist critic. Spielberg was also co-founder of the independent film studio DreamWorks and established himself with the Back to the Future (1985–1990) and Men in Black trilogy (1997–2012) and the Band of Brothers - We were like brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010) also works as a film and television producer.
Spielberg made his debut in 1974 in competition with his film debut Sugarland Express , which earned him the screenplay award. He then presented the following works ( ET - The Extra Terrestrial , The Color Purple , Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ) without exception out of competition at the film festival, with the world premiere of ET as the festival's closing film in 1982 causing a sensation. Spielberg himself describes the memory of it as "one of the most vivid" of his career to this day. The festival had tried several times in the past to win the American as jury president, but this always failed due to scheduling conflicts. It was not until 2011 that Spielberg agreed in principle to a jury presidency two years later. After Robert De Niro ( 2011 ), Tim Burton ( 2010 ) and Sean Penn ( 2008 ), he is the fourth US jury president in the last six years.
As in previous years, the jury president was supported by several jury members whose names were presented on April 23. It was all about filmmakers:
- Daniel Auteuil , French actor ( actor award in Cannes 1996 )
- Vidya Balan , Indian actress
- Naomi Kawase , Japanese film director ( Caméra d'Or 1997 , Grand Jury Prize 2007 )
- Nicole Kidman , Australian actress and film producer
- Ang Lee , Taiwanese film director, producer and screenwriter (competitor in Cannes 1997 and 2009 )
- Cristian Mungiu , Romanian screenwriter, film director and producer ( Golden Palm 2007, Script Award 2012 )
