Introduction by the Director of the 69th Festival, Alberto Barbera 4dz1o

“It is now established that the main function of a festival is to choose what we can and must see from among the huge blind mass of production”.

Not marginal comments, however, if it is true that one of the reasons that led me to return to serving the Venice Film Festival, turns its gaze - in cross-eyed fashion - in a different direction. Nor am I referring to what's left of the f...

Old Red Carpets? 2x591u

This is an interesting point, but not one that I fully agree with – based on my experience of last years Cannes. Although I didnt see many of the in-competition  films as I was doing my research around the film market...
