Alexander Payne Announced As Jury President At 2025 Venice Film Festival


Venice Film Festival Unveils 2025 Jury President

The director follows in the footsteps of recent jury presidents Isabelle Huppert (2024), Damien Chazelle (2023), Julianne Moore 2022, Bong Joon-ho (2021) and Cate Blanchett (2020). These qualities – along with his experience as a screenwriter – make him an ideal candidate to preside over the work of the Venice Jury, which is called upon to evaluate films from around the world. I am grateful to Alexander for accepting my invitation, which seals an acquaintance that goes back to the days of his graduation short film at UCLA.”
