Liliana Cavani is ready to obtain a serious honor on the eightieth version of Venice Film Festival. The Italian filmmaker will probably be awarded a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement, per Deadline.
Counting “The Night Porter” and “The Berlin Affair” amongst her credit, Cavani obtained Venice’s Lion of San Marco for greatest documentary in 1965 for “Philippe Pétain: Processo a Vichy.” The fest has screened a lot of the director’s different movies, most lately 2012’s “Clarisse.”
Festival Director Alberto Barbera described Cavani as “one of the most emblematic protagonists of the New Italian Cinema of the 1960s” and a “versatile artist,” emphasizing that her work “has spanned over sixty years of show business history.” He added, “The characters in her movies are set in a historical context that shows an existential tension toward change, young people searching for answers to important questions, complex and problematic characters who reflect the unresolved conflict between individual and society.”
Other Golden Lion lifetime achievement winners embody Catherine Deneuve, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ann Hui, Tilda Swinton, and Julie Andrews.
Venice Film Festival will happen August 30- September 9.
