The Venice Film Festival, known officially in Italian as Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia, has officially announced its selection of films playing at the historic film festival in 2025. Celebrating their 82nd year (the oldest fest in the world), Venezia returns with a fury featuring an exciting line-up with a boatload of great films. Venice 2025 runs from August 27th to September 6th in just a few months. The highlights: Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia (I remember how Poor Things rocked us all!), Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice, Benny Safdie’s The Smashing Machine, Werner Herzog’s Ghost Elephants, Julian Schnabel’s In the Hand of Dante, Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly with George Clooney. And, of course, many of other movies to discover when they premiere on the Lido in Venice in a few months. I’ll be back again as always for this fall festival to watch and report back on the new films. I’m already looking forward to diving into screenings all day, every day, to find the best of the best.
