Italian directors Carlo Mazzacurati and Roberta Torre will head juries of other Venice sidebars.

COLOGNE, Germany - Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, whose last feature, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, won the Palme d'Or in Cannes last year, will head up the jury for the Venice Film Festival's Orizzonti (Horizons) sidebar. The section focuses on cutting edge cinema and films made in non-standard formats. Weerasethakul is no stranger to Venice, having competed in the festival's main section with his Syndromes and a Century in 2006.
