ROME (AP) _ The Venice Film Festival's prestige has been sinking in
recent years, with a Golden Lion award that doesn't roar nowadays
so much as squeak.
That's according to the festival's new director, Moritz de Hadeln,
as he prepared for Thursday's gala opening _ and what he hopes will
be a march back to glory. De Hadeln said poor award choices and haphazard
organization had damaged the world's oldest film festival.
