The Venice Film Festival continues preparations for this year`s edition, which should take place on the Lido Italian island at the beginning of September.
Roberto Cicutto, president of the Venice Biennale, the festival`s parent organization, confirmed the dates for the 77 th edition – September 2 to 12 – in an interview with the Italian news agency ANSA.
Cicutto also addressed the improbability of a possible collaboration between Venice and Cannes, which Cannes director Thierry Fremaux mentioned in an interview with Variety: “With Cannes, everything is possible, but I find it disconcerting that Thierry Fremaux keeps saying he is continuing to examine the situation and does not say
what he wants to do.”
“We are going forward with our program and if Cannes is still thinking (about their course of action) then there is no dialogue”, Cicutto added.
