Italian director and screenwriter Alice Rohrwacher has been chosen to chair the Jury of the Caméra d’or. She follows within the footsteps of final 12 months’s joint chairs Emmanuelle Béart and Baloji.

Rohrwacher stated:
“First occasions are all the time vital, and so they stick with us for the remainder of our lives. Like coming into an unfamiliar room, approaching one’s beloved for a primary kiss, or touchdown on a international shore. There’s one thing golden that haloes these moments in our reminiscence. Is that why essentially the most prestigious award for first movies is named Caméra d’or?”
