Agnieszka Holland will sit on the jury of the main competition of the Venice Film Festival
This time, Agnieszka Holland will be deciding who deserves the Golden Lion and other festival awards. The director has officially joined the jury of the main competition at the Venice Film Festival. This year’s jury will also include James Gray (“Ad Astra”, “Little Odessa”), Andrew Haigh (“Good Strangers”, “45 Years”), Kleber Mendonca Filho (“Neighborly Sounds”, “Aquarius”), Abderrahmane Sissako (“Waiting for Happiness”, “Timbuktu”), Giuseppe Tornatore (“The Connoisseur”, “Cinema Paradiso”), Julia von Heinz (“Treasure”, “And Tomorrow the Whole World”). The jury will also include actress Zhang Ziyi (“Memoirs of a Geisha”, “Tiger of Prey, Hidden Dragon”) and the chairwoman of the jury – Isabelle Huppert (“8 Women”, “The Piano Teacher”).
– Isabelle Huppert is a great actress. Demanding, interesting and very talented. She is the muse of many great filmmakers, who has never refused young or lesser-known directors who saw her as the ideal interpreter of their stories. Her willingness to take risks is a sign of extraordinary intelligence and the ability to look at cinema beyond geographical and mental boundaries. All this makes her the ideal chairwoman of the jury of a festival open to the whole world, which is undoubtedly the Venice International Film Festival – quotes the artistic director of the event Albert Barber to the Variety portal.
