Isabelle Huppert to Head Venice Film Festival Jury


Isabelle Huppert will preside over the main jury of the Venice Film Festival.

The revered French actor has a longstanding rapport with the Lido, having won Venice’s Coppa Volpi for best actress twice, first with “Story of Women” in 1988, and subsequently with “La Cérémonie” in 1995, both directed by Claude Chabrol. “The muse of numerous great filmmakers, she has never shirked the invitation of young or not-so-famous directors who have seen in her the ideal interpreter of their stories,” Barbera noted. “We are very grateful to her for accepting the position, aware of the many commitments in film and theater that she will face in the coming months,” he concluded.
