Patricia Clarkson, Dakota Fanning, Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Olivia Wilde, Hugh Dancy, Brett Ratner, Susan Sarandon, Shailene Woodley, Gabourey Sidibe and Irwin Winkler are among the more than 50 jurors who will serve at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.
The typically far-reaching panels range from actors and filmmakers to critics, restaurateurs and creative executives, from the thoroughly indie ("Frozen River" writer-director Courtney Hunt) to the brazenly mainstream ("Rush Hour" director Ratner), and from a Metropolitan Museum of Art trustee to Justin Bieber's manager.
TFF organizers announced the makeup of the six competition juries on Monday, as well as the juries for the Tribeca All Access Creative Promise Awards and the Tribeca Film Institute Latin America Media Arts Fund awards.
