Venice Film Festivals Gives Rivals a Run For Their Money

Description

Having staged its first edition in 1932, the Venice film biennale ist the world’s oldest surviving film festival. However, venerable origins and a glorious past are no guarantee that Venice can secure its future. Especially if you consider its recent near-eclipse by the Toronto Film Festival. That's the near-simultaneous North American event that has become a powerhouse of international dealmaking and magnet for world premiere film launches. But Venice is making new headway in what has become a frantically competitive area of the film universe. As it gears up for its 11-day extravaganza, the film festival is looking forward to better times. Alberto Barbera, the festival director--and the man primarily responsible for securing the festival program--is quietly confident. He told The Guardian he is "pretty excited" about the lineup, and got 98% of the films he wanted.
