The 50th anniversary in 1982 saw a prestigious International Jury formed entirely of film directors, and the same formula has been adopted for the 75th anniversary of the 64th Venice Film Festival. Invited to chair it is the film-maker who, in the whole history of the Festival, has won most major awards, making a place for himself amongst the protagonists of cinema world-wide: the Chinese director, Zhang Yimou winner of two Golden Lions, in 1992 with The Story of Qiu Ju (Qiu Ju da guan si) and in 1999 with Not One Less (Yi ge dou bu neng shao), one Silver Lion in 1991 with Raise the Red Lantern (Da hong deng long gao gao gua), and one Coppa Volpi for best female actress (Gong Li, in 1992 for The Story of Qiu Ju).
Two leading figures from American cinema, producer Bill Mechanic and director Gregg Araki, have been selected as presidents of two of the international juries of the 64th Venice Film Festival, respectively for the Luigi De Laurentiis Prize for a First Film, and for the Orizzonti section dedicated to the new film-making trends. Mechanic and Araki are two of the most representative figures of the new US film-scene, where independent spirit and creative originality contribute to give a renewed impulse to the production system.
Like the two preceding editions, the Jubilee Festival will also have a lean structure to assure maximum visibility to the films and film-makers: the number of feature films in the Official Selection will be kept to a total of less than 60 titles. The maximum numbers for each section shall be: 20 films for the Competition; 8 films for the Out of Competition Section, 5 films for the Out of Competition/Midnight Section, 18 films for Orizzonti.
This year again, there will also be some Special Events. Among these, the special “Tim Burton Day” on Wednesday 5th September on the occasion of the awarding of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement to the American film director in the Sala Grande within the Palazzo del Cinema.
Founded on 6th August 1932 at the Lido di Venezia, the oldest film festival in the world celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. That same year saw the birth not only of the Festival but also of one of the protagonists of modern cinema: Alexander Kluge, father of Young German Cinema (initiator of the Oberhausen Manifesto) and winner of two Golden Lions and one Silver Lion. Kluge will provide an overview of the last 75 years of the history of cinema with a special programme presented within the framework of the Venice Film Festival. The German director will present materials and documents, for the most part not made public before and some even made for the occasion. Among the main features of this programme will be the Ein-Minuten-Filme, mini-films lasting just 60 seconds that Kluge has realised over the past 40 years, above all for the German ZDF and Swedish SVT television.
