But do the stars give any interviews on site during the festival, which takes place on 28/8-7/9? Nja, it's more uncertain.
The trend is that the actors prefer to visit the festival, hold a press conference, and take a lap on the red carpet for the influencers' sake – and then go home. That's how it went when Francis Ford Coppola and Yorgos Lanthimos with their big actor teams visited this year's film festival in Cannes.
The companies think it's enough, says a British PR veteran to TT and notes that it can affect both the festivals and his own job in the long run.
"Beetlejuice" opens
However, this year's Venice Festival looks exciting from a film perspective. Kicking off is Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", 36 years after the first film, with Michael Keaton as the somewhat odd ghost Betelguese.
In the coming days, we'll get to see Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas in Pablo Larrain's "Maria", Daniel Craig as a homosexual in Luca Guadagnino's "Queer", and Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga singing and dancing their way through "Joker: folie a deux".
Many films look back in time. The Italian "Battleground", directed by Gianni Amelio, takes place during World War I, the documentary "Riefenstahl" wants to give a picture of the controversial German director, Joe Wright's series "M" is about Benito Mussolini, and in "From darkness to light", they try to get to the bottom of what happened with the film Jerry Lewis was going to make in Sweden.
Cate Blanchett in new drama
Several TV series are also shown, apart from "M". Thomas Vinterberg's apocalyptic "Families like ours" (coming to TV4 later this fall) and the exciting drama "Disclaimer" with Cate Blanchett are two of these.
Scandinavia is sparsely represented this year. Apart from Vinterberg's series, Göran Hugo Olsson's over three-hour-long documentary film about how the Palestine issue has been portrayed on Swedish TV is shown. The only Nordic competition entry is the Norwegian "Love", a sequel to "Sex" – which has its Swedish premiere during the festival.
