Singaporean film director Eric Khoo will be president of the jury at the Locarno international film festival in Switzerland later this year, the organisers announced Monday.
The award-winning independent filmmaker will be joined by four other actors and directors on the jury to select the Golden Leopard (‘Pardo’) awards at the annual festival in the southern Swiss town on August 4-14.
They include Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, lead actress in Ridley Scott‘s 2008 thriller “Body of Lies”, and 26-year-old US independent filmmaker Joshua Safdie, the festival said in a statement.
