The Coen brothers has been chosen as Presidents of the Jury for this year's Cannes Film Festival, marking the first time two people have shared the role.
Organisers of the 68th annual festival are paying to tribute to "cinema brothers" this year to mark the 120th anniversary of the Lumiere cinematograph, which was invented by the Lumiere brothers.
Joel and Ethan Cohen said in a statement: "We look forward to returning to Cannes this year. We welcome as always the opportunity to watch movies there from all over the world. Cannes is a festival that has been important to us since the very beginning of our career.
"Presiding over the Jury is a special honour, since we have never heretofore been president of anything. We will issue further proclamations at the appropriate time."
The Coen brothers won the Grand Prix at Cannes in 2013 for their film Inside Llewyn Davis.
The official lineup and jury for the 2015 festival will be announced in April, with the festival taking place from May 13 - 24.
