Luca Guadagnino Replaces Thomas Vinterberg as Marrakech Festival Jury President With Andrew Garfield, Patricia Arquette, Jacob Elordi as Jurors
Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Luca Guadagnino will preside over the jury of the upcoming Marrakech International Film Festival, replacing Thomas Vinterberg, who had previously been appointed president of the fest’s jury but “had to excuse himself for family reasons,” according to a festival statement. The fest also announced that Guadagnino will be joined by a top notch roster of fellow jurors comprising: Iranian director Ali Abbasi; Indian director Zoya Akhtar; American actor Patricia Arquette; Belgian actor Virginie Efira; Australian actor Jacob Elordi; British-American actor Andrew Garfield; Moroccan actor Nadia Kounda, and Argentine director Santiago Mitre. “I will never forget the first time I arrived in Marrakech: it must’ve been more than 20 years ago, when I was a guest of my friend Valentina Cervi, who was sitting on the jury of the short film competition,” Guadagnino said in a statement.
