Movie stars and directors traditionally like to travel to the lagoon city to launch their films. This year, however, will offer a little less sparkle than usual, as a strike by Hollywood actors will prevent many stars from promoting their work here.
Putting a brave face on the anticipated disruption, the festival’s Artistic Director Alberto Barbera has managed to attract one of the strongest line-ups in recent years, defying the gloomy predictions of a massive no-show from major studio productions. defies.
“We know that some talents won’t be there… But others will come because they work in independent films. So everything is good. It looks very positive.’
Outside the picture-perfect canals of Venice, there is a sense of crisis in the film industry, with strikes by both major American actors and writers’ unions bringing much of the entertainment industry to a standstill.
“If the strikes last longer, it will have a huge, negative impact on the next (release) season and also on the awards season,” said Barbera.
No one in Hollywood wants the strikers to do the wrong thing and the entire film and TV industry has come to a complete standstill.
The writers’ union, the WGA, went on strike on May 2 and was followed on July 14 by SAG-AFTRA, the actors’ union.
