Venice festival ready to roar

(01:30) Report

Aug. 27 - The Venice Film Festival kicks off Wednesday night with the opening film by the Coen Brothers and starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

Hollywood takes a back seat at the 65th annual Venice film festival as organizers favor smaller, independent movies. The festival runs until September 6, 2008. Cindy Martin reports.
