Maggie Gyllenhaal will preside over the main jury of the upcoming Venice Film Festival.

The Oscar-nominated actor, director, producer and screenwriter was last in Venice in 2021 with her directorial debut “The Lost Daughter,” an adaptation of the Elena Ferrante novel of the same name starring Jessie Buckley, Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson and Peter Sarsgaard, which won the fest’s best screenplay award.
