\n Venice Film Festival<\/B>

\n29 August – 08 September 2018

\nVenice, Italy

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

The line-up of the 75th Venice Film Festival has been revealed.<\/p>\n

The Venice Film Festival has announced the line-up for it\u2019s 75th anniversary edition and it proves to be as intriguing and surprising as ever.<\/p>\n

Damien Chazelle is opening the festival and the competition with his Neil Armstrong biopic First Man<\/em>, while Bradley Cooper\u2019s directing debut A Star Is Born<\/em> is set to screen out of competition.<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises in the competition line-up after the whole Netflix debacle in Cannes is the Coen Brothers\u2019 TV-series-turned-movie anthology The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs<\/em>. Other exciting competition titles include Alfonso Cuaron\u2019s Roma<\/em>, the Jacques Audiard Western The Sisters Brothers<\/em>, Luca Guadagnino\u2019s Suspiria<\/em> remake, Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019 The Favourite<\/em> and Julien Schabel\u2019s Vincent Van Gogh portrait At Eternity\u2019s Gate<\/em> with Willem Dafoe, Oscar Isaac, Rupert Friend and Mads Mikkelsen.<\/p>\n

Also promising looks Vox Lux<\/em>, the latest offering from Childhood Of A Leader<\/em> director Brady Corbet, while the sole female director in competition is Jennifer Kent with her Babadook<\/em> follow-up, The Nightingale<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Out of competition, we look forward to Pablo Trapero\u2019s new film La Quietud<\/em>, Shadow<\/em> by Chinese master Zhang Yimou and S Craig Zahlers latest brutal offering Dragged Across Concrete<\/em>. Terrence Malick\u2019s 180-minute The Tree Of Life (Extended Cut)<\/em> is screening in the Sconfini section, while Orson Welles\u2019 previously unfinished film, The Other Side Of The Wind<\/em>, will be presented as a special event.<\/p>\n

As for the documentaries on offer this year, Errol Morris\u2019 American Dharma<\/em> stands out, alongside the Peter Bogdonavich-directed doc about legendary silent film star Buster Keaton entitled The Great Buster<\/em>. Mark Cousins also returns to Venice with Women Making Films: A New Road Movie Through Cinema a<\/em>nd William Friedkin is the subject of Francesco Zippel\u2019s Friedkin Uncut<\/em>.<\/p>\n
