75th Venice Film Festival announces line-up

The 75th Venice Film Festival has announced its line-up.

It includes big name directors, some new comers and the strong presence of Amazon and Netflix.

The festival opener is First Man, a biopic of astronaut Neil Armstrong. Directed by Damien Chazelle, it stars Ryan Gosling as the NASA legend.

Streaming giants Amazon and Netflix are well-represented, with a total seven films.

Festival director Alberto Barbera said it's time to come to terms with the industry's changing landscape:

"We can not ignore these realities, we can not pretend they do not exist, we can not ignore the fact that most or a large part of auteur cinema of today, the cinema that is in some way also more interesting, with the most significant authors, is produced by these entities," Barbera told reporters.

Vanessa Redgrave will receive the prestigious Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. The 81-year-old British actress won the festival's Volpi Cup in 1994.

Director Guillermo del Toro, winner of last year's top prize for his film The Shape of Water, heads the competition's international jury.

Of the 20 films in the running, The Sister Brothers by French director Jacques Audiard is one of the most anticipated.

It's a darkly comic Western starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Joaquin Phoenix as two hitmen brothers

Also much awaited, Bradley Cooper's directorial debut A Star is Born. Cooper also appears in the romantic musical drama opposite Lady Gaga.

The Venice Film Festival runs from August 29 to September 8.
