The Berlin Film Festival has suffered the withdrawal of two jury members just hours before its opening on Thursday evening.
"With profound regret, Susanne Bier and Sandrine Bonnaire have announced at the last moment they will be unable to participate on the jury," said Berlinale organizers on Thursday.
Danish director Susanne Bier said she is leaving for the United States immediately due to unforeseen circumstances related to her next film.
French actress and director Sandrine Bonnaire also quit due to family reasons.
