Venice film festival to give career award to US director Julian Schnabel
The 73-year-old will be presented with the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award, dedicated to people who have made a particularly original contribution to contemporary cinema, on September 3, a festival statement said.
Before the ceremony, the festival will host the out-of-competition premiere of Schnabel's latest feature, "In the Hand of Dante", starring Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, Al Pacino, John Malkovich and Martin Scorsese.
"I never dreamed I would become a filmmaker, let alone be honoured with this award," Schnabel said in the statement.
Festival director Alberto Barbera praised Schnabel's work as "a gift to film", calling his new feature "his most ambitious project to date".
The Venice Film Festival runs from August 27 to September 6. This year's edition is set to feature Hollywood stars, Oscar-winning directors, Asian heavyweights and European auteurs, all looking to make a splash at the start of the awards season.

Shock Emmerdale exit as star leaves the show a year after joining – but there's a twist
EMMERDALE'S Steph Fox-Miligan has quit the village after a year. The businesswoman - who is played by actress Georgia Jay in the ITV soap - arrived last year and was immediately thrust into the spotlight as it was revealed she was the product of her grandfather raping her mother. 2 2 The trauma sent Steph spiralling but recently she's been on an even keel after discovering her mum killed her grandfather. This week viewers watched Steph reunite with Ross Barton with things finally going well for her. But when she discovered Ross had slept with Manpreet Sharma months ago, she decided she was done. Booking a ticket to Rome, Steph announced she was going travelling and would be back in the future. In reality, actress Georgia has left the soap to go on maternity leave. A source said earlier this year: 'Everyone's thrilled for Georgia and can't wait to see her back when she's ready. 'Steph's exit will happen in the next few weeks and see her flee abroad in typically dramatic fashion. 'But with Anthony's body still out there, there's a huge storyline still to be wrapped up for when she returns.' Actress Georgia announced her pregnancy earlier this year after fans began to notice her growing bump on screen. In the Instagram caption, she penned: "As you've probably guessed, I've got some news to share! "I know some of you have been wondering if you've been seeing a little bump on screen lately… well, it's not your imagination... "I'm having a baby," she exclaimed. "We've never been so excited and a little nervous all at once. Thank you for all the love and support."

New twist in Conor Maynard and Charlotte Chilton paternity row as explosive new allegation is 'revealed'
A huge new development in the Conor Maynard and Charlotte Chilton paternity row has come to light, five months after the pop star claimed he was not the father of her daughter Penelope. In a new document, reportedly seen by The Sun, Charlotte claims an 'unidentified male was present' when Conor's DNA sample was collected. The mother-of-one also alleges Conor 'switched testing locations last minute' and that her own DNA was not taken. In a standard DNA paternity test, at least two people need to provide samples: the child and the alleged father. Including the mother's sample is generally recommended for increased accuracy of the test. Charlotte has allegedly now urged a court-ordered DNA test to confirm the parentage of the little girl, who was born in October. According to the publication, Conor's representatives have insisted he has already offered to do a second paternity test, but outside of court. A source said: 'Charlotte was blindsided when Conor released the paternity result claiming he wasn't Penny's dad. 'Charlotte consulted lawyers and despite suffering shocking abuse from online trolls, was advised to remain silent. She's now ready to fight for Conor to take another paternity test. 'She claims the previous one should be discounted because it was not conducted under the controlled conditions agreed. 'Charlotte just wants this whole sorry saga over with and for the truth to come out. Her number one priority has always been, and always will be, Penny.' According to the publication, Charlotte has hired Coleen Rooney's Wagatha Christie lawyer Paul Lunt to be on standby for potential legal threats. A spokesman for Conor Maynard told The Sun: 'It's baffling. Conor's already agreed to another paternity test, so there's no need to drag this through the courts. 'Once a new test has been done hopefully Charlotte can finally put this behind her once and for all'. Daily Mail has contacted Charlotte and Conor's representatives for comment. A subsequent DNA test confirmed in March that Conor was not the child's father. Conor appeared on This Morning in May to explain the toll the paternity scandal had on him after Charlotte went on to say she doubted the accuracy of the test. He said: 'I was instantly painted as a dead-beat dad. My comments on my social media were all about that.' Conor added: 'Mental health is something I have struggled with for a huge portion of my life. 'And this year has been up there with my battle with it.'
