Tarantino president of international competition jury
American director-screenwriter Quentin Tarantino will preside over the International Jury of the Competition of the 67th Venice Film Festival (September 1-11, 2010), which will award the Golden Lion along with the other official prizes.
A great fan and connoisseur of Italian cinema (often cited in his films, for example Inglourious Basterds [+see also:

film profile], which was inspired by Enzo G. Castellari’s 1978 film Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato) Tarantino was the “godfather” of the retrospective Italian Kings of the B’s (at Venice 2004, the first part of a project on the secret history of Italian cinema) and one on Italian westerns (Venice 2007).
