Venice Film Festival 2024 Lineup Breakdown | Global News

Venice Film Festival drops its star-studded, Oscar-adjacent lineup for its 83rd edition — fewer Hollywood blockbusters, more global voices. Highlights include John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell in “Wild Horse Nine,” a doc on Elon Musk, and a 355-minute Russian exile saga. Opening night: Rupert Murdoch’s rise in “Ink,” up for the Golden Lion, with Maggie Gyllenhaal leading the jury and starring in a Monroe-inspired short. Ellen Burstyn and George Clooney both receive lifetime honors — proving Venice still reigns as a prestige powerhouse, even if not every film lights up the box office.
