A big scoop for the Edinburgh International Film Festival: famed Korean director Bong Joon Ho will head the International Competition jury next month. He's directing one of the festival's patrons and strongest supporters, Tilda Swinton, in the upcoming Snowpiercer, which will mark his English-language debut. Joining him on the jury will be actress Natalie Dormer, best known for her work on TV's Game of Thrones, and chief film critic for Scotland on Sunday, Siobhan Synnot. The festival will, this year, include two country-based focuses, with work from Sweden and Bong's native South Korea being featured respectively.
