Spike Lee has been named jury president for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, returning to the fest after previously being named jury president for last year’s canceled edition due to the coronavirus. This year’s festival will take place later than usual but is scheduled for July 6-17. “Throughout the months of uncertainty we’ve just been through, Spike Lee has never stopped encouraging us. This support is finally coming to fruition and we could not have hoped for a more powerful personality to chart our troubled times”, Pierre Lescure, president of the Festival, said in a statement.
