The Venice Film Festival has unveiled its full lineup which sees a solid roster of established international auteurs compete for the Golden Lion alongside lesser-known helmers.

The Lido’s 69th edition, which features 50 world preems, marks a change in artistic director at the fest from Marco Mueller to Alberto Barbera who returns as Lido topper after heading Venice between 1998 and 2001 and subsequently being in charge of Italy’s national film museum.

Barbera, who has slimmed-down the lineup, is also launching Venice’s first bona-fide film mart.
