ROME -- The crew that will select the films for the 65th annual Venice Film Festival will include six Italian advisors, including well-regarded film critics Enrico Magrello and Violetta Bellocchio, and 10 more correspondents from around the world.
The announcement of the team comes just two days after artistic director Marco Mueller was officially confirmed for a second four-year term at Venice's helm.
Over the previous four years, Mueller and his teams set a high standard for quality. Many films that have screened in Venice in recent years went on to reap critical and boxoffice success and, in each of the last two years, all of the 42 films that screened in competition in Venice were world premieres.
In addition to Magrello and Bellocchio -- both of whom work with media owned by state broadcaster RAI -- the Italian committee also includes critic and journalist Paolo Bertolin, screenwriter Marie-Pierre Duhamel, screenwriter Claudio Masenza and critic Alberto Pezzotta.
