Having broken a ten year silence earlier this year with new film Me And You, Bernardo Bertolucci has revealed that he will be heading the jury at this year's Venice Film Festival. The festival will open with Alfonso Cuaron's hotly-tipped Gravity, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, and the full line-up was announced today.
Shorter than usual but packed with high profile premieres, it's an impressive list. Kim Ki-duk, who won the Golden Lion last year with Pieta, returns with new film Moebius, Terry Gilliam has Christoph Waltz play an mathematician obsessed with The Zero Theorem and Stephen Frears ponders the effect of unwilling adoptions in Philomena, while Paul Schrader delivers his adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' The Canyons. James's Franco's Child Of God tells the story of an aggressive mountain outcast and Errol Morris presents his already controversial documentary The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld. There are also contributions from Xavier Dolan, Hayao Miyazaki and Gianfranco Rosi.
The festival will run from August 28 to September 7.
