Venice Film Festival

Cinematic art at its finest is on display in Venice at the end of August. Harmony Korine (Trash Humpers) shows his new film. Michel Franco (After Lucia) is expected and the last film of the great William Friedkin (William Friedkin - Hollywood's Enfant terrible) will be presented post mortem. Fien Troch (Home) has also been invited as one of the few female directors in the competition. From the acting side, we are looking forward to Julieta Zylberberg (My Friend from the Park). Time to get familiar with the works of these filmmakers!
