New Zealand film-maker Jane Campion is to be joined by industry colleagues from Mexico, China, South Korea, France and Iran on the jury for next month's Cannes film festival. The nine-member panel will decide the division of the major spoils, including the recipient of the crowning Palme d'Or award.

Joining Campion at the table will be Mexican actor and film-maker Gael García Bernal, Iranian performer Leila Hatami, who starred in the Oscar-winning A Separation, South Korea's Jeon Do-yeon, France's Carole Bouquet and the Hollywood actor Willem Dafoe. The jury also finds room for three writer-directors in Denmark's Nicolas Winding Refn, China's Jia Zhangke and Sofia Coppola of the US.

Campion, who won the 1986 Palme d'Or for her short film Sweet and the 1993 prize for her feature The Piano, will serve as jury president. Among the contenders for the top prize at this year's event are new films from Mike Leigh, Ken Loach, Michel Hazanavicius, David Cronenberg and Jean-Luc Godard.

The 67th Cannes film festival runs from 15-25 May.
