Freshly restored works by Andrej Wajda, Roberto Rossellini, Luis Buñuel, Roger Corman, John Cassavetes and Ann Hui are set to screen as part of the Venice Film Festival‘s 19-title Venice Classics lineup.

Wajda’s drama about postwar political and social chaos “Ashes and Diamonds,” which Martin Scorsese has called one of his ten favorite films; Rossellini’s marriage crisis movie “Journey to Italy,” starring Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders (pictured above); Buñuel’s absurdist comedy “Illusion Travels By Streetcar”; Corman’s biggest commercial success, “The Wild Angels” – which launched in competition at Venice in 1966 – and Cassavetes’ quirky romantic comedy “Minnie and Moskowitz” starring Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel, are among highlights of the rich program.

Asian offerings include Dev Benegal’s landmark first film, the scathing satire “English, August,” and Hong Kong New Wave pioneer Ann Hui’s “The Story of Woo Viet,” which is one of the first political movies from Hong Kong.

Italian director Daniele Vicari (“Diaz Don’t Clean Up This Blood”) will chair the jury of film students that will award Venice Classics section prizes, both for best restored film and best documentary about cinema. Venice’s best docs on cinema lineup will be announced on July 23 along with the rest of the official selection.

The upcoming 83 edition of the Venice Film Festival will run Sept. 2-12 with the festival’s lineup being announced July 23.
