American producer James Schamus, a great advocate of independent cinema to whom we owe several of Ang Lee’s movies as well as praised titles such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lost in Translation and Milk, and who also teaches at Columbia University, was chosen to preside over the jury of the 64th Berlin Film Festival (February 6-16).

He will be surrounded by a brilliant jury notably including his American colleague Barbara Broccoli, known around the world as the producer behind all James Bond films since GoldenEye, as well as the author of Eternal Sunshine, French cult director Michel Gondry.
