The Venice Film Festival has unveiled its lineup amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors and WGA writers strikes.
Among the films premiering at the 2023 Biennale are new offerings from Bradley Cooper, Sofia Coppola, Yorgos Lanthimos, Michael Mann and Ava DuVernay. Opening the festival on August 30 is “Comandante,” an Italian period drama from director Edoardo De Angelis starring Pierfrancesco Favino, who starred in “The Traitor.” “Society of the Snow” from J.A. Bayona will close the festival on September 9.
Festival director Alberto Barbera said in his opening speech if the strike is still ongoing there will likely be premieres without the film’s cast on the red carpet. In the meantime, producers can apply for SAG-AFTRA waivers so the stars of their films can attend and not break strike rules. He added the independent and foreign films are unlikely to be impacted by the strike and will be able to have their talent participate. Barbera promised overall the red carpet “will not be empty” of talent.
