“Tim Burton is a cinematic genius, the most imaginative child of the new age of cinema,” festival director Marco Muller said in a statement Wednesday. “More insolently pop than most of the contemporary new directors, and less eager for approval than most of the older ones, there is not a bankable Hollywood director with a flintier sense of cinema than him.”
The 64th edition of the festival will be held on the Lido in Venice, Italy from Aug. 29 through Sept. 8.
Burton, 48, presented The Nightmare Before Christmas at the festival in 1994.
