The jury for the 19th edition of the Marrakech International Film Festival (FIFM) scheduled for November 11 to 19, 2022 has been revealed in full. While we have recently learned that the jury will be chaired by Paolo Sorrentino, the FIFM announced in a press release the names of the eight members of the jury who will surround the president in order to award the Gold Star. “These are eight members of different nationalities representing 10 countries from 4 continents,” said the FIFM press release.
Indeed, the jury now consists of the multi-award winning Danish screenwriter and director Susanne Bier. A figurehead of international cinema, this filmmaker is known for her most awarded works such as “After the Wedding”, “Revenge”, “The Night Manager: The Spy with Two Faces” or “Bird Box”.

BAFTA, Golden Globe and Oscar nominee Vanessa Kirby has achieved international acclaim for her work in film, television and theatre. She began her theater career playing under the direction of David Thacker, with a first appearance in “They were all my sons” by Arthur Miller, which earned her the Bisa Prize for revelation.
