Every year Venice is ready to host international movie stars and there will be about 3,000 journalists, film critics, radio and TV correspondents attending the Mostra with privileged access to screenings.
The start date for the 79th Venice International Film Festival is approaching, on the Lido from Aug. 31 to Sept. 10.
Rocio Munoz Morales, actress, model and dancer will be a guest on stage as the Festival’s Godmother presenting the opening and closing nights.
As we know, the films presented attract worldwide interest as the Festival has long been a springboard for both new directors and established personalities.
For the more curious and film fanatics, tickets will be available for purchase exclusively online at www.labiennale.org from mid-August.
Some of the most anticipated films:
Blonde – directed by Andrew Dominik

I eat your heart out – directed by Pippo Mezzapesa
