Irish-Ethiopian star Ruth Negga will join the jury for the Cannes Film Festival, which begins next week, organisers have announced.
The film extravaganza on the French Riviera, one of the world's most important annual cinema events, hands out a host of prizes, including the prestigious Palme d'Or for Best Film, decided by a nine-person jury.
Negga, a Best Actress Oscar nominee for Loving in 2017, will be joined on the jury by The Substance star Demi Moore, Hamnet director Chloé Zhao, and Sentimental Value star Stellan Skarsgård.
As previously announced, the jury will be headed by arthouse South Korean director Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy).
The other jury members are Belgian director Laura Wandel, Chilean director Diego Céspedes, Irish-Scottish screenwriter Paul Laverty, and Ivorian-American actor Isaach de Bankolé.
The Cannes Film Festival runs from 12 to 23 May.
