\n Venice Film Festival<\/B>

\n30 August – 09 September 2017

\nVenice, Italy

\nVenice website<\/A>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Billed as the world\u2019s oldest film festival, the prestigious Venice film festival has announced a star-studded line up which sets the tone for this year’s awards season. Venie has seen some proud premieres in recent years as a hotspot for launching awards contenders, including La La Land<\/em>, Spotlight<\/em> and Birdman<\/em>, and this year is shaping up to be no different.<\/p>\n

Opening the festival on 30 August is Alexander Payne\u2018s sci-fi satire Downsizing<\/em>. The film stars Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Christoph Waltz and Jason Sudekis, and follows a man who decides to shrink himself to better deal with life. Damon also appears in George Clooney\u2018s Coen Brothers-scripted crime comedy Suburbicon<\/em>, which also screens as part of this year\u2019s Official Competition. <\/p>\n

Other world premieres include Guillermo Del Toro\u2018s The Shape of Water<\/em>, a strange love story between a sea creature and a lonely government clerk, Darren Aronofsky\u2018s highly anticipated mother!<\/em>, and Martin McDonough\u2018s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, which sees Frances McDormand going against a small town’s police chief after her daughter is murdered.<\/p>\n

Genre fans should also look out for the premieres of the follow up from Bone Tomahawk<\/em> director S. Craig Zahler, Brawl in Cell Block 99<\/em>, starring Vince Vaughn, and A24\u2019s latest horror venture, Woodshock<\/em>, with Kirsten Dunst in the lead.<\/p>\n

The festival will also feature a special section dedicated solely to virtual reality, including a reworked 3D version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller<\/em> directed by John Landis.<\/p>\n
