The artistic director of the Venice International Film Festival, Alberto Barberaand the President of the Biennale, Roberto Cicuttoannounced her films at a press conference 80th edition which will take place from August 30 to September 9, 2023.

With the Hollywood actors and screenwriters strike continues strongly, preventing several big-name stars from participating in the promotion of their work, there has been much concern and discussion surrounding the possibility that this year’s line-up may look different from other years. The organizers, in fact, had prepared an alternative plan in the event that the American productions would be completely absent.

Obstacles, as expected, appeared as early as last week.

Fortunately, despite the difficult conditions, leading directors will present their new films in Lido. Among them the biographical drama “Ferrari” by Michael Mann starring Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz, the “Maestro” by Bradley Cooper on the life of iconic composer Leonard Bernstein, d “Priscilla” by Sofia Coppola, based on Priscilla Presley’s memoir of her life alongside “King of Rock and Roll”the “The Killer” by David Fincher starring Michael Fassbender as a cold-blooded killer who begins to gain consciousness, George Lanthimos’ long-awaited surreal science fiction “romance”, “Poor Things”starring Emma Stone and Marc Ruffalo, as well as Wes Anderson’s new film, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar”a big screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s short story starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Dev Patel and Ralph Fiennes.
