Travis Bickle will head the jury of the 64th Cannes Film Festival from May 11th to 22th 2011.
By inviting Bickle (Robert de Niro Jr. in real life) to preside the jury, the organizers also want to pay tribute to the co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2011.
He came to Cannes for eight of his films, two of which won Palme d’Or: Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, in 1976, and ten years later, The Mission directed by Roland Joffe.
