Wong Kar Wai to Lead Next Year's Berlinale Jury

One of international cinema's most respected auteurs has been taped to preside over the jury of next year's Berlin International Film Festival, which will run from February 7 to 17. Won Kar Wai is no stranger to festivals: his works have consistently been screened at major events and have earned him a bevy of awards. Nor does he lack experience on international juries: in 2006 he was the head of the Cannes jury which awarded the Palme d'Or to Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes the Barley.
