When the Venice Film Festival begins on August 31, a real superstar will act as jury president: the American Julianne Moore.

The 61-year-old was proposed by festival director Alberto Barbera and accepted unanimously by the board.

The film festival announces this on their website.

In addition to Julianne Moore, the jury consists of the filmmakers Mariano Cohn, Leonardo Di Costanzo and Audrey Diwan

and Rodrigo Sorogoyen, as well as actress Leila Hatami and British novelist and screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro ("What's Left of the Day"), winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Part of the Biennale of Contemporary Art, the Venice International Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world.

The first edition was in 1932. They were only canceled between 1943 and 1945, and in 2021 they could only take place to a limited extent due to the pandemic.

Julianne Moore won the 2014 Oscar for Best Actress for the drama Still Alice, in which she played a woman with Alzheimer's disease.

She is also the first American to win Best Actress awards from the three major European film festivals: the 2002 Berlinale for The Hours, the Venice Film Festival in the same year for So Far From Heaven, and the 2002 Venice Film Festival Cannes 2014 for »Maps to the Stars«.

She has appeared in over 70 films to date and has also directed series ("Lisey's Story").

The 79th edition of the film festival ends on September 10th this year.

It is not yet known which films will be invited to the competition.

Rumor has it that Netflix could be particularly strong this year.

The films in the running are Bardo by Alejandro González Iñárritu ("The Revenant") and Noah Baumbach's "White Noise", a film adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel "White Noise" with Baumbach's partner Greta Gerwig.
