The Masterclass will be held on Thursday May 24 – festival runs May 16 – 27 2007.
Scorsese follows in the footsteps of other auteurs who have been guests of honor such as Stephen Frears, Nanni Moretti, Wong Kar Wai and Sydney Pollack.
He will also present the Camera d’Or to the director of the best first film In Competition during the festivals closing ceremony.
At Cannes, Scorsese will announce the launch of his World Cinema Foundation, devoted to the preservation and restoration of cinematic masterpieces from across the globe.
