Washington [US], March 16 (ANI): American director-producer Spike Lee is set to lead the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, which is expected to take place between July 6-17 this year.
As per Variety, Lee will be the first Black president of the festival's jury. He was on track to preside over last year's festival which was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and had vowed to return to the French Rivera-set festival if the health situation allowed for it.
Lee was also supposed to have his directorial venture 'Da 5 Bloods' play out of the competition last year, marking Netflix's return to the Official Selection.
