In the 15-second clip, the late actor was seen portraying the lead character in a white suit and wearing a white mask.
The preview of the upcoming Terry Gilliam-directed fantasy-drama was part of an extensive montage showcasing different films that are due to screen at the festival, including Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus tells the story of the eponymous Parnassus and his regretful pact with the devil for immortality and then youth.
It was previously announced that Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell will also play Parnassus after Ledger's death halfway through filming.
