Other planned attendees include Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, Ed Harris, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eva Mendes, Woody Harrelson, Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall.<p>And Jane Fonda will be on hand for a tribute to her late father, the legendary Henry Fonda.<p>Organizers have tapped newly minted Oscar winner Martin Scorsese to teach a master class in cinema, while Oscar-owning composer Howard Shore (The Lord of the Rings) will present a master class in film music with Canadian director David Cronenberg.<p>This year's jury will be headed by Oscar-nominated British director Stephen Frears (The Queen), and will also include actresses Toni Collette and Maggie Cheung, French screen star Michel Piccoli and Nobel Prize-winning Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk.<p>The fest will close May 27 with Canadian filmmaker Denys Arcand's The Age of Darkness.<p>Here's a complete rundown of the 2007 Cannes slate.<p>In Competition:<p>  • My Blueberry Nights, Wong Kar-wai, China (opening film)   • Auf Der Anderen Seite (On the Other Side), Fatih Akin, Germany   • Une Vieille Maitresse (An Old Mistress), Catherine Breillat   • No Country for Old Men, Joel and Ethan Coen, United States   • Zodiac, David Fincher, United States   • We Own the Night, James Gray, United States   • Les Chansons d'Amour, (Love Songs) Christophe Honore, France   • Mogari No Mori, Naomi Kawase, Japan   • Breath, Kim Ki-duk, South Korea   • Promise Me This, Emir Kusturica, Bosnia   • Secret Sunshine, Lee Chang-Dong, South Korea   • 4 Luni, 3 Saptamini Si 2 Zile (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days), Cristian Mungiu, Romania   • Tehilim, Raphael Nadjari, France   • Stellet Licht (Silent Light), Carlos Reygadas, Mexico   • Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi, Vincent Paronnaud, Iran and France   • Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), Julian Schnabel, United States   • Import Export, Ulrich Seidl, Austria   • Alexandra, Alexandr Sokurov, Russia   • Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino, United States   • The Man from London, Bela Tarr, Hungary   • Paranoid Park, Gus Van Sant, United States   • Izgnanie (The Banishment), Andrei Zvyagintsev, Russia<p>Out of Competition:<p>  • L'Age des Tenebres (The Age of Darkness), Denys Arcand, Canada (closing film)   • Sicko, Michael Moore, United States   • Ocean's Thirteen, Steven Soderbergh, United States   • A Mighty Heart, Michael Winterbottom, Britain   • Go Go Tales, Abel Ferrara, United States   • U2 3D, Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington, Ireland and United States   • 11th Hour, Leila Conners Petersen and Nadia Conners, United States   • The War, Lynn Novick and Ken Burns, United States   • He Fengming (Chronicle of a Chinese Woman), Wang Bing<p></p><br clear="all"/>
