Brass named president of jury
Italian master of erotic cinema Tinto Brass will head the jury of the 2008 Queer Lion. After the success of last year’s inaugural edition, the award for best film with a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender theme (organized by the CinemArte Association) will once again be presented at the upcoming Venice Film Festival.
Brass will preside over a jury comprising Massimo Benvegnù, journalist and critic of the daily Il Riformista and the Amsterdam Weekly, and Variety critic and director of the European-films.net agency, Holland’s Boyd van Hoeij.
CinemArte will also participate in the Venice Market for the first time this year, with a section dedicated to gay-themed works.
