French actress Marion Cotillard will preside over the jury for the 2026 Marrakech International Film Festival (November 20-28).
The jury awards the Étoile d’Or to one of the titles in the international competition, which comprises first and second-time feature filmmakers.
Cotillard said: “I have been fortunate enough to attend the Marrakech International Film Festival since its very beginnings; I’ve had wonderful experiences there and met some truly remarkable people. Supporting filmmakers as they take their first steps is a vital part of what this festival is all about—it’s in its DNA—and it is a great joy for me to chair the jury this year.”
Cotillard’s roles include A Very Long Engagement, her Oscar-winning portrayal of Édith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, Rust And Bone, Two Days, One Night, Public Enemies, Midnight In Paris and The Dark Knight Rises.
Her upcoming projects include Emmanuelle Bercot’s The Enraged.
Last year’s Etoile d’Or winner at Marrakech was Erige Sehiri’s Tunisian drama Promised Sky.
