Venice Film Festival Announces 2022 Lineup
Ana de Armas stars as Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's Blonde The lineup for the 79th Venice Film Festival is now live, one day after Noah Baumbach‘s adaptation of Don Delillo’s novel White Noise was announced as the opening night film. The films announced today include Andrew Dominik‘s Blonde, Darren Aronofsky‘s The Whale, Joanna Hogg‘s The Eternal Daughter, recently jailed Iranian director Jafar Panahi‘s No Bears, Frederick Wiseman‘s narrative turn A Couple and more.
White Noise marks the first time that a Netflix film serves as the festival’s opening night film. The streamer is also present with Dominik’s Blonde, the Nicolas Winding Refn mini-series Copenhagen Cowboy and Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Bardo (or False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths), the director’s first Mexican film since his 2002 debut Amores Perros.
The festival will run from August 31 through September 10, with Julianne Moore presiding over the competition jury. The Venice Film Festival will receive a Gotham Impact Salute at this year’s Gotham Awards (presented by Filmmaker‘s parent organization, The Gotham).
