Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky will be the jury president at the Berlin International Film Festival next year.
Aronofsky will head a panel to judge the movies on show at the 65th annual German event, which is due to take place on February 5.
Festival director Dieter Kosslick explained in a statement why organisers chose the famed filmmaker: "Darren Aronofsky has distinguished himself as an outstanding protagonist in contemporary auteur cinema. In his artistic approach he consistently sounds out cinematic language and its aesthetic possibilities. I'm pleased to be able to welcome him as jury president of the Berlinale 2015."
Aronofsky added, "At the Berlinale, the cinema is always exciting and fascinating. I am looking forward to watching the latest from the greatest in one of the great cities on the planet."
