Among the contenders are Wes Anderson's Asteroid City, Hirokazu Kore-eda's Monster, Ken Loach's The Old Oak, and Justine Triet's Anatomie d'une Chute.
The four-woman and five-man panel also includes Moroccan director Maryam Touzani, French actor Denis Menochet, British-Zambian director Rungano Nyoni, Argentinian filmmaker Damian Szifron and French Afghan writer-director Atiq Rahimi.
The jury will announce the winner at the close of the festival on May 27.
