Actresses Patsy Kensit and Emilia Fox and director Brian Gilbert will form the British contingent on the jury of this year's Festival du Film Britannique de Dinard (Oct 3-6).
French actor Gerard Darmon will act as jury president, overseeing a total jury of thirteen. His fellow French jury also includes actresses Christine Boisson, Lou Doillon, Charlotte Valandrey and Elsa Zylberstein, director Claire Devers, journalist/ director Alain Beverini, actor/ directors Xavier Beauvois and Pascal Legitimus, and a readers' representative from the Ouest-France newspaper.
The jury will view and judge six films in competition - Bloody Sunday, Bend It Like Beckham, Morvern Callar, Plots With A View, Room 36 and This Is Not A Love Song. The winner will be awarded the Hitchcock d'Or which comes with a financial contribution of Euros3,000 towards distribution costs, and a Euros1,600 bequest to the director. The Hitchcock d'Argent is awarded to the film selected by the public. Last year the festival attracted 17,000 French cinema-goers.
