Some of Hollywood's finest actors including Tilda Swinton, Matt Damon, Ewan McGregor, and George Clooney, ventured to Venice for the 66th International Venice Film Festival from September 2 through 12.  This year only five of the 23 films entered are American, including Michael Moore's new documentary "Capitalism: A Love Story."  The jury for the festival headed by Oscar-winning director Ang Lee will decide a winner on the 12th.  Last year, "The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei won the festival.
