Roman Polanski’s recent Cannes premiere Venus In Fur will open the upcoming 11th annual Ischia Global Film & Musical Festival in Italy.

In addition, the Ischia International Arts Academy will present Polanski in absentia with the festival’s highest honour, the Ischia Legend Award.

The Oscar winning filmmaker takes his place alongside previously announced 2013 Ischia Legend Award recipients Nicolas Cage, Arnon Milchan and Samuel L Jackson.

The Ischia Global Film & Music Festival is scheduled to run from Jul 14-21.
