Organisers of the Venice Film Festival are promising a glamorous event

Here's my report on the 68th Venice Film Festival, where organisers are promising one of their most glamorous events yet with a line-up of hotly anticipated titles and Hollywood stars.

This year the competition sees an entry from director Roman Polanski and George Clooney who opens the festival with a political drama, The Ides of March, which he also stars in.
