HED: To Venice With Love, Peggy Siegal DEK: Back to northern Italy to take in the arts and architecture—and of course, film at the 68th annual Venice Film Festival. By: Peggy Siegal Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2010 Art collector, polo player and film producer Peter Brant gives me a ride to the 68th Venice Film Festival to mingle with Hollywood glitterati from around the world. Venice, the thousand-year-old city looks like a movie set floating on the water that has been the backdrop for films from Casanova to The Tourist. This year, 65 films will have world premieres. Among the jury are two American directors: chairman Darren Aronosfky, Todd Haynes and one English musician, David Byrne.
