Joe Wright to preside over Edinburgh jury

June 15, 2009 Wright will be president of the festival's main jury alongside actor Frank Langella, USA Today film critic Claudia Puig, journalist, broadcaster and author Janet Street-Porter and Australian actor Sacha Horler. Wright said he was delighted to be returning to the Scottish shindig, describing it as a place "which has always been the greatest melting pot of the British film industry and culture." The jury will pick a winner from Brian Percival's "A Boy Called Dad," Duncan Ward's "Boogie Woogie," Jan Dunn's "The Calling," Justin Molotnikov's "Crying With Laughter," Andrea Arnold's "Fish Tank" Lindy Heymann's "Kicks," Avie Luthra's "Mad Sad & Bad," Duncan Jones's "Moon," Julian Kemp's "My Last Five Girlfriends," Dale Corlett's "Running in Traffic" and Alexis Dos Santos' "Unmade Beds."
