Joel and Ethan Coen, the American filmmaker brothers, will be the first co-presidents of the jury for this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The brothers, who made “Fargo”, “Barton Fink” and “No Country for Old Men”, replace Australian filmmaker Jane Campion, who was last year’s president. The jury will choose the winning films during the 68th edition of the festival that runs from May 13-25 on the French Riviera. Presiding over the Jury is a special honor, since we have never heretofore been president of anything,” Joel and Ethan Coen said in a statement given to the organizers.
