Renowned Lebanese actress, director, and activist Nadine Labaki has been announced as a distinguished jury member for the 80th Venice International Film Festival, scheduled to take place from August 30th to September 9th.

Beside Labaki, the esteemed award's panel of judges includes notable figures such as French actress Elsa Zylberstein, Mexican sensation Yalitza Aparicio, British-Nigerian talent Misan Sagay, and Italian filmmaker Stefano Savona, according to Variety.
