Earlier this week, we reported on the major films debuting at this year's Venice Film Festival.  The line-up includes The Ides of March (opening night film), Contagion, Carnage, A Dangerous Method, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and plenty of other great stuff.  Now the full line-up has been released and while the previously unannounced films are foreign flicks you've probably never heard of (plus the first film Al Pacino has directed in over a decade, Wilde Salome), Venice is a great opportunity for those movies to get on everyone's radar (provided they aren't overshadowed by the star-studded flicks).  Also, the festival will close out with Wilt Stillman's new movie, Damsels in Distress.Hit the jump to check out the full line-up.  The 2011 Venice Film Festival runs from August 31st through September 10th.the-ides-of-march-posterIn CompetitionThe Ides Of March, George Clooney (US) [Opening Night Film]Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Tomas Alfredson (UK, Germany)Wuthering Heights, Andrea Arnold (UK)Texas Killing Fields, Ami Canaan Maan (US) (second work)Quando La Notte, Cristina Comencini (Italy)Terraferma, Emanuele Crialese (Italy/France)A Dangerous Method, David Cronenberg (Germany/Canada)4:44 Last Day On Earth, Abel Ferrara (US)Killer Joe, William Friedkin (US)Un Ete Brulant, Philippe Garrel (France/Italy/Switzerland)A Simple Life (Taojie), Ann Hui (China/Hong Kong)The Exchange (Hahithalfut), Eran Kolirin (Israel) (second work)Alps (Alpeis),Yorgos Lanthimos (Greece)Shame, Steve McQueen (UK) (second work)L’ultimo Terrestre, Gian Alfonso Pacinotti (GIPI) (Italy) (first work)Carnage, Roman Polanski (France/Germany/Spain/Poland)Chicken With Plums, Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud (France/Belgium/Germany)Faust, Aleksander Sokurov (Russia)Dark Horse,Todd Solondz (US)Himizu, Sion Sono (Japan)Seediq Bale, Wei Te-Sheng (Taiwan) (second work)
