"There is a long and beautiful history between the Festival and I. Becoming a privileged spectator is an honour," said Huppert, who chaired the jury at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. The 81st Venice Film Festival, held on the lagoon city's Lido island, will run from Aug. 28 to Sept. 7. The movies in competition will be announced in July.
