81º edición del Festival Fílmico de Venecia

By Duncan Mil

August 28, 2024 - Grandes estrellas de Hollywood iluminarán esta semana el Festival Fílmico de Venecia. El evento de 11 días da inicio a la temporada de premios, los filmes que se estrenaron en Venecia en los pasados tres años acumularon 77 nominaciones a los Oscares y ganaron 14 de las estatuillas.

Among the 21 films contending for the Golden Lion top prize are Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie à Deux”, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, Pablo Larrain’s “Maria”, with Angelina Jolie playing the opera diva Maria Callas, and Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer”, with Daniel Craig playing a gay American.

Behind-the-scenes drama includes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the midst of a contentious divorce. Still, the organisers have scheduled their films (and arrivals and departures) days apart to avoid overlap.

Festival director Alberto Barbera says that Venice has long had difficulty competing with Cannes and Toronto to get the biggest films. Barbera thinks things really changed in 2012 when they hosted the premiere of “Gravity,” which went on to win seven Oscars that March and established Venice as a place to host movie launches.
