VENICE, Italy -- Italian independent producer Domenico Procacci took aim at Venice International Film Festival artistic director Marco Muller for ignoring his mandate to discover first-time directors in his selection process. Procacci, in town with first-time helmer Fausto Paravidino's Texas, which is screening in the Venice Horizons section, openly questioned at a news conference why his film was not selected to compete for the Golden Lion. "For Muller, in fact, as he declared to the press, the festival should photograph the present and doesn't have to discover new talent. I do not share this view," said Procacci, who noted that the three Italian films in competition -- Roberto Faenza's I Giorni dell'Abbandono, Cristina Comencini's La Bestia Nel Cuore and Pupi Avati's La Seconda Notte di Nozze -- are all from established directors.
