Global Campus of Human Rights at Venezia81

The 81st Venice International Film Festival, organised by La Biennale di Venezia, will be held on the Lido di Venezia from 28 August to 7 September 2024. The aim of the Festival is to raise awareness and promote international cinema in all its forms as art.

"It is as though the movie universe has exploded under the thrust of an unstoppable, expansive force that, having brought to an end a stability that was mistakenly considered immutable, is giving life to a new, oscillating configuration in which different and opposite realities coexist in precarious equilibrium", said Alberto Barbera, Director of Venezia 81. "The program of the 81st Venice Film Festival proposes significant examples of this dual, expansive movement by hosting numerous movies that, to varying degrees, exceed two hours, and by screening four auteur series (by Alfonso Cuarón, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Thomas Vinterberg, and Joe Wright), which, above and beyond their macroscopic differences in production and content, share a few significant characteristics."

 

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, directed by singular creative visionary Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, with Jenna Ortega, and Willem Dafoe, is the Opening Film, Out of Competition, of the 81st Venice International Film Festival. The Venice Biennale is honored and proud to host the world premiere of a work that features a surprising swing of creative imagination and driving hallucinatory rhythm.

 

Within the framework of the Summer School on Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy (CHRA), jointly developed with Picture People, the participants are going to debate on movies that they will watch at the Film Festival, as  “September 5”, "Why War",  “Separated”, “Manas”, "To Kill a Mongolian Horse", followed by Q&A with Directors, and they will meet Marjane Satrapi, author of "Persepolis".
