The Venice International Festival turns 80 this year and from August 30 to September 9, all eyes worldwide will be on the Lido and the big premieres, international stars and their impressive red carpet appearances.

With the “Commander” by Edoardo De Angelis to be the opening film, this is set to be a very strong year for the festival.

This year, among many great choices, we singled out the 10 films that make us look forward to their premiere at the Festival and, of course, to see them ourselves in theaters.
