As well as serving as jury president, Joanna Hogg will also treat audiences to a masterclass.

Considered one of the UK’s leading auteurs, Joanna Hogg practised photography and was a director in television before making her first film Unrelated (2008), which starred a young Tom Hiddleston and won many awards, including the FIPRESCI Prize at The London Film Festival. She went on to make Archipelago (2010) and then Exhibition (2013). Her next film, The Souvenir (2019), for Element, BBC and A24, had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the World Cinema Dramatic Grand Jury Award. Hogg’s follow-up, The Souvenir Part II (2021), again for Element, BBC and A24, premiered in the Quinzaine at the Festival de Cannes. She followed this up with The Eternal Daughter (2022), starring frequent collaborator Tilda Swinton and executive-produced by Martin Scorsese, which premiered in competition at the 79th Venice Film Festival. She is currently working on her next feature film set in Los Angeles.
