At the Venice FIlm Festival, that closed the 9th, [b]Jean-Marie Straub[/b] and [b]Danièlle Huillet[/b] premiered teir new film [i]Quei loro incontri[/i] (2006), sequel to [i]Dalla nube alla resistenza[/i] (1979), and, as the previous one, based in a [b]Cesare Pavese[/b]'s work, the [i]Dialoghi con Leucò[/i] . This year's jury, presided by actress Catherine Deneuve, chose to award a Roaring Lion to the cineast couple "for invention of cinematic language in the ensemble of their work". The Straubs, however, didn't attend nor the film's premiere neither the award ceremony: Huillet was ill and Straub sent several messages that were read by the film's actors.
