Italian-American actress and director to head Un Certain Regard jury.
Isabella Rossellini is to preside over the Un Certain Regard Jury at the 68th Cannes Film Festival (May 13-24).
The Italian-American actress and director will head a jury that will judge 20 films, set to be announced when the full line-up is unveiled on April 16.
At this year’s Cannes, Rossellini will take part in a tribute to her actress mother by attending the screening of Ingrid Bergman, in Her Own Words, a documentary by Stig Björkman being shown as part of the Cannes Classics. (This year’s Cannes poster features Bergman)
She will also launch her own ‘Ingrid Bergman Tribute’ to celebrate the centenary of her mother’s birth. The show, directed by Guido Torlonia and Ludovica Damiani, will be based on both her autobiography and her correspondence with Roberto Rossellini.

Isabella Rossellini is a dauntless actress and a famous beauty descended from film royalty, which makes it all the more wonderful that her work as a director has been so delightfully silly. Partnering with Sundance Channel, Rossellini has produced several memorable series of nature-themed short films for the web and other outlets, all starring herself enacting animal, fish or insect behavior. She began with 2008's "Green Porno," in which she acted out the mating rituals of a dragonfly, spider, bee, praying mantis, worm and others creatures using Diy costumes and props. More seasons followed, taking on marine and environmental subjects, leading to a sequel of sorts about wooing rituals called "Seduce Me." Rossellini's newest installment in her ever-expanding series is "Mammas," which looks at maternal practices as seen in hamsters, spiders and other forms of life. "Mammas" is now live on Sundance Channel's website following a premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in.

Mammas Sunday, May 12 Sundance Channel, 5:30pm Et Usually when someone I’m interviewing excuses themselves for a minute, it can really interrupt the flow of the conversation. That extra time it takes to get back on track could lead to me missing out on some great nugget they were about to throw my way. But when it’s Isabella Rossellini, and you overhear her speaking beautiful Italian to her son, it’s just a pleasure to sit and listen. I called the actress to learn more about her new series of short films, Mammas, premiering on Sundance Channel on Mother’s Day. It [...]

Are you having one of those days where you're like, "Man, I just want to see Isabella Rossellini, wearing Missy Elliot's outfit from the 'The Rain' video, have sex with a giant toad?" Perfect, because we have a clip of just that. It's a part of her new Web series for the Sundance Channel called Mammas. Just like her previous brilliant, super-weird series Green Porno and Seduce Me, in each of the new nine shorts, Rossellini dresses up like a different animal and explains a bizarre part of their lives. In honor of Mother's Day, each video looks at "creatures’ rites of passage into motherhood." (Five shorts, not including the toad-grinding below, are live now on SundanceChannel.com; the rest go live Sunday and air all together on the Sundance Channel Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Et.) Anyway, sorry, we know: less talk, more simulated toad sex.
