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.
