WOMAN IN CHARGE: The first female director to win the highly coveted Palm D'Or at Cannes, Jane Campion has been tapped to serve as jury chairman for this year's staging of the France-hosted film bash. Steven Spielberg chaired last year's iteration of the annual festival, arguably the most glamorous of its kind in the world. Campion's numerous honours include Academy Awards for The Piano, which won Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay honours in 1992. Last year's Palm D'Or went to Blue Is The Warmest Colour, while previous winners include such spellbinding releases as the Michael Haneke-directed marital drama Amour.
