Alberto Barbera presided over a lengthy press conference this morning, where he announced the stacked lineup for this year’s Venice Film Festival, which runs from August 27 to September 6.
The lineup is expansive with big names and arthouse darlings sprinkled across the festival’s strands, even including the shorts programme.
High-profile titles include Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Chloë Sevigny. Roberts leads the cast as a college professor who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Garfield), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light. The film will screen Out Of Competition on Guadagnino and Amazon’s request, Barbera explained during the presser.
Elsewhere, in Competition, we have Jay Kelly, the latest film Noah Baumbach has made for Netflix. The feature stars George Clooney and Adam Sandler and is slated for release in theaters on November 14. The film will hit Netflix on December 5. Baumbach wrote the script for the pic — marking his fourth outing with Netflix — with Emily Mortimer.
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, starring Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac, will also screen in Competition alongside Kathryn Bigelow’s return to feature filmmaking with A House Of Dynamite, and Jim Jarmusch debuts a film in the Venice Competition for the first time in decades with Father Mother Sister Brother.
Julian Schnabel will debut his long-awaited feature, In The Hand Of Dante, Out Of Competition. The film stars Oscar Isaac, Martin Scorsese, Gerard Butler, Gal Gadot. While announcing the film, Barbera confirmed that the film had been delayed due to a dispute between the filmmakers and the film’s funders. We also have new films by Werner Herzog, Lucrecia Martel, Laura Poitras, and Sofia Coppola, Out of Competition.
In the Venice documentary sidebar, the Mike Figgis feature Megadoc, a documentary about the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s last feature, Megalopolis, will screen. Charlie Kaufman will show a short titled How To Shoot A Ghost Out Of Comp and Hagai Levi (Scenes From A Marriage) will debut a new show titled Etty.
The festival will open with La Grazia, the latest feature from Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino. The film starring Toni Servillo and Anna Ferzetti will have its world premiere screening on Wednesday, 27 August in the Sala Grande. La Grazia, written and directed by Sorrentino. Very little about the film’s plot is known, but sources close to the film have told Deadline that the film follows the final days of a fictional Italian Presidency.
Kim Novak will receive the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion for lifetime achievement. Alexander Payne heads the Competition jury. He is joined by Stéphane Brizé, Maura Delpero, Cristian Mungiu, Mohammad Rasoulof, Fernanda Torres, and Zhao Tao.
