Isabella Rossellini has been announced as the President for the Un Certain Regard category at Cannes.
The actress and director will oversee the judging of 20 films in the selection next month.
The Festival de Cannes organisers have also announced that Rossellini will take part in the film awards' annual tribute, which this year is dedicated to her late mother, Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman.
Rossellini will attend a Cannes Classics screening of Ingrid Bergman, in Her Own Wordsâ€, a documentary by Stig Björkman, as well as launching her own 'Ingrid Bergman Tribute' to celebrate the centenary of her mother's birth.
Directed by Guido Torlonia and Ludovica Damiani, the project will be based on both Bergman's autobiography and her letters to husband Roberto Rossellini. Following its debut, the show will play at major theatres around the world.
This judging of this year's In Competition selection will be overseen by the Coen brothers.

Rossellini will award the Un Certain Regard Prize and meet the winners on Saturday, May 23, the day before the 2015 festival's closing ceremony. Her fellow jurors and the nominees in the category are expected to be announced soon.
