The fest had previously confirmed reports that it intended to Lionize Lynch (Daily Variety, June 15), but had been waiting for the U.S. helmer to accept before issuing a formal announcement.
"Lynch has a fascination for what is usually unseen: for mysterious beauty, of the kind that appears in strange places and sometimes turns out to be horrific," Venice artistic topper Marco Muller said on Friday.
"Inland Empire," set in Southern California, but largely shot in Poland, is produced by Gaul's StudioCanal. Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons and Harry Dean Stanton star.
Pic will unspool as a gala in the Palazzo del Cinema, the Lido's main screening venue.
The 63rd Venice fest will run Aug. 30-Sept. 9.

When Abu Dhabi officials decided to launch their Middle East Intl. Film Festival last year, the focus was all about the finance.
Asian film financing is in a fog. For all its recent marching around, it is difficult to tell whether it is moving forwards, backwards or simply around in circles.
Although it's celebrating its 35th anniversary, the Ghent Intl. Film Festival wasn't always known as a unique and exotic showcase for film composers.
Blue Gold: World Water Wars
Alternately political and apolitical, pessimistic and optimistic -- but rarely, if ever, cinematic -- Sam Bozzo's "Blue Gold: World Water Wars" works best as a smallscreen educational docu that alerts its audience to the corporate raiding of dangerously diminishing H2O supplies worldwide.
