  • This festival initiates the autumn race for the Academy Awards, while "Ink" explores the 1969 London media landscape as Rupert Murdoch and editor Larry Lamb launch The Sun newspaper.
  • Venetian waterways fill with stars including jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal, Selena Gomez, and George and Amal Clooney, while the competition lineup features "Primetime," "Bunker," "The Echo Chamber," and "Bucking Fastard."
  • Following Venice, casts and crews will swarm Colorado for the Telluride Film Festival on September 4, with the Toronto International Film Festival launching September 10.
  • This annual four-day fest celebrates the art of film rather than forcing competition, with special guests revealed day-of as attendees hope to one day saunter across the Dolby Theatre stage.
