French actress Isabelle Huppert, finest recognized for her function as a sado-masochist in “The Piano Teacher”, will lead the jury at this 12 months’s Venice Film Festival, organisers introduced Wednesday.

The 81st version of the distinguished pageant will happen from August 28 via September 7 on the beach-lined Lido island.

“There is a long and beautiful history between the Festival and I,” stated Huppert, who has received Venice’s Coppa Volpi for finest actress twice, for Claude Chabrol’s “Story of Women” and “La Ceremonie”, in 1988 and 1995 respectively.

“Becoming a privileged spectator is an honour. More than ever, cinema is a promise. The promise to escape, to disrupt, to surprise, to take a good look at the world, united in the differences of our tastes and ideas,” the 71-year-old stated.

Last 12 months, the pageant’s high Golden Lion prize went to Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’s “Poor Things”, a feminist transforming of Frankenstein.

The 2023 jury was led by US director Damien Chazelle, finest recognized for the Oscar-winning “La La Land”.
