(China Daily) British actress Tilda Swinton will head the jury at the Berlin film festival in February.
The 48-year-old Swinton this year won a best supporting actress Oscar for her part in "Michael Clayton." She also starred in the Coen brothers' latest movie, "Burn After Reading."
Swinton made her debut in 1986 in Derek Jarman's "Caravaggio." Berlin festival director Dieter Kosslick said Wednesday that "her commanding screen presence has made an indelible impression in contemporary, innovative film making."
Festival organizers did not immediately say who else will be on the jury at next year's festival, which runs from Feb. 5 to Feb. 15.
The Berlin event is the first of the year's major European film festivals.
