Venice Film Festival Names Lucrecia Martel Jury President

June 24, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Lucrecia Martel, the Argentinian director of “Zama” and “The Headless Woman” will be heading the jury of the upcoming Venice Film Festival [Variety], she thus becomes only the seventh woman to hold the position of Jury President in the festival’s 76-year history.

In a statement, festival head Alberto Barbera called Martel “Latin America’s most important female director and one of the top female directors worldwide.”

Barbera added in an official statement, “In her films, the originality of her stylistic research and her meticulous mise-en-scène are at the service of a worldview free of compromises, dedicated to exploring the mysteries of female sexuality and the dynamics of groups and classes.”

Martel responded by saying: “It’s an honor, a responsibility and a pleasure to be a part of this celebration of cinema, of humanity’s immense desire to understand itself,” said Martel in her own statement.
