Berlinale 2008 juryThe complete Competition jury of the upcoming Berlin Film Festival was revealed today. Jury president Costa-Gavras, the Franco-Greek director of films ranging from 1990 Golden Bear winner Music Box to the more recent Le couperet (The Ax), had been announced announced earlier. The women in the jury are four: Danish director Susanne Bier, who directed Elsker dig for evigt (Open Hearts) and the Oscar-nominated Efter Brylluppet (After the Wedding); French actress Sandrine Bonnaire, who recently made her directorial debut with the documentary Elle s'appelle Sabine (Her Name is Sabine); German actress Diane Kruger, who could be seen in the Berlinale Competition film Goodbye Bafana last year and also played in many French productions including Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas), and Taiwanese-born actress Shu Qi.

The three men joining Costa-Gavras and the ladies on the jury are German production designer Uli Hanisch (Perfume: The Story of a Murderer); US editor Walter Murch and Ukrainian-born producer and documentarymaker Alexander Rodniansky. The eight jury members will judge  the 21 films in the 2008 Berlinale Competition.

In related news, the Berlinale also announced the two Berlinale Kamera winners for this year:  Austrian actor Karlheinz Böhm and German actor and voice artist Otto Sander.

The 2008 edition of the festival takes place in the German capital from February 7 until February 17.
