The Venice Film Festival Opens with a Rupert Murdoch Film, George Clooney and Plenty of Geopolitics
Maggie Gyllenhaal leads the jury as 21 films compete for the Golden Lion and documentaries on Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch screen out of competition.
- The 83rd Venice Film Festival opened Wednesday on the Venice Lido with British director Danny Boyle's "Ink," a drama about media magnate Rupert Murdoch's 1969 acquisition of The Sun tabloid.
- Though Venice traditionally launches the awards season—eight of the past 10 Best Actor/Actress Oscars went to Venice-screened protagonists—rising production costs have dimmed star attendance as Hollywood studios increasingly stay away.
- U.S. actor and director Maggie Gyllenhaal chairs the competition jury, joined by directors from Tunisia, Afghanistan and Hong Kong, while Festival Director Alberto Barbera said most selections dealt with "contemporary problems."
- George Clooney receives a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement during the 11-day festival, while stars including Robert Pattinson and Oasis frontmen Liam and Noel Gallagher grace the red carpet.
- Only one of 21 competing films is directed by a woman, which Festival Director Barbera called "a big problem," as the festival closes September 12 with Italian costume drama "Dio ride" .
