Taiwanese director Ang Lee, a two-time Golden Lion winner at the Venice film festival, will chair the international jury of this year's festival in September, the organizers said.
Lee, who bagged the top award in 2005 for Brokeback Mountain and was honored again in 2007 for Lust, Caution, is "one of the most successful directors in creating a dialogue between the film-making culture of east and west," a statement said.
He will head the jury responsible for awarding the Golden Lion and other prizes.
