As an actress, she later participated in screenwriting, and then directed the three films "Lady Bird", "Little Women " and "Barbie", each one better than the last.

press conference, the first people to come in were Director Ceylan and his son. In previous press conferences for his movies, he was always the protagonist on stage. This time, they sat in the front row as soon as they came in. They were cheering for the judge Ebru Ceylan. Ceylon also stood up and asked the girl who provided the simultaneous translator for a long time how to listen to Turkish. Finally, he took two simultaneous translators and handed one to his son.

This year’s jury has a total of nine people, five women and four men, with more women than men. The press conference was delayed a bit because the photo shoot took too long.
html After 19 people entered the venue, Greta Gerwig modestly said that being able to come to Cannes was a surprise, and it was like a dream come true. Talking about how to choose the Palme d'Or, she said it was very difficult to choose and discuss from so many movies.She is another female jury president after Jane Campion and Cate Blanchett. She said that she has been working in the film industry for 20 years and has no problem judging movies.
Eva Green said that she felt that the Palme d'Or should be a movie that can move her, move her, and surprise people.
When asked about how Ceylon's "Winter Sleep" won the Palme d'Or and last year's "Wither Grass" won the Best Actress, how does it feel to be a judge this time? Ebru Ceylan said with a smile, "That's it." Like dessert.
