As a dedicated gamer and film enthusiast with a deep appreciation for both the worlds of gaming and cinema, I am thrilled to hear about the upcoming films selected to open the Horizons and Horizons Extra competition sections at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. The opportunity to witness these films on the big screen is an exciting prospect, especially since they promise unique and captivating stories that have yet to be fully explored.
At the 81st Venice Film Festival, the organizers have revealed the movies selected for the opening nights in the Horizons and Horizons Extra competition categories.
Despite being the second film by Italian director Valerio Mastandrea, following “Ride” (2018), “Nonostante” will initiate the Horizons competition segment at the festival on August 28th. The Horizons Extra competition segment is set to commence on August 29th with “September 5,” a historical drama directed by Tim Fehlbaum about the 1972 Munich Olympics, featuring Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro, and Ben Chaplin in leading roles.
On September 5, the sports broadcasting team’s attention shifts unexpectedly to a hostage crisis. Black September, a Palestinian militant group, breaks into the Olympic Village, murdering two members of the Israeli Olympic team, and kidnapping the remaining nine. Actress Leonie Benesch from “The Teacher’s Lounge” joins the cast. Fehlbaum gained recognition for his science fiction films, “Hell” (2011) and “The Colony” (2021).
On the 5th of September, this film was a collaborative production between BerghausWöbke Filmproduktion and Projected Picture Works, with Constantin Film and ERF Edgar Reitz Filmproduktion also contributing. The producers were Fehlbaum, Philipp Trauer, Thomas Wöbke, Sean Penn, John Ira Palmer, and John Wildermuth. Republic Pictures owns the rights to distribute the movie globally outside of German-speaking Europe.
Despite being content with his routine as a hospitalized patient due to a long-term illness, Valerio Mastandrea’s character in “Nonostante” is disrupted by a new arrival (portrayed by Dolores Fonzi from “Truman”), who defiantly refuses to accept her own condition. Lino Musella, Giorgio Montanini, Justin Alexandre Korovkin, Barbara Ronchi, and Luca Lionello also feature in this film. Viola Prestieri and Valeria Golino produced “Nonostante” for HT Film, collaborating with Francesco Tatò and Oscar Glioti from Damocle, as well as Moreno Zani and Malcom Pagani from Tenderstories and Rai Cinema. BiM Distribuzione is responsible for its release in Italy.
“Mastandrea expressed that launching the festival is equivalent to sharing his film with the audience’s sight and emotions. He viewed this as a chance to unveil a tale he had kept private for a considerable period, aiming for it to resonate with all.”
I’ve had the pleasure of attending the Venice Film Festival several times, and every year, I eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the festival’s poster. As a graphic design enthusiast, I can appreciate the skill and creativity that goes into creating such an iconic image.
Mattotti explains that the image, drawn from the unique experience of an elephant strolling Venice’s labyrinthine streets during the 1981 Carnival, embodies the festival’s function as a melting pot of international cinema. The elephant serves as a metaphor for both “Memory” and “Cinema History”: a grand celebration, procession, and performance.
On Tuesday, July 23, the 81st Venice Film Festival will reveal the complete list of films in competition for this year’s event. The festival itself is scheduled to take place from August 28 to September 7, 2024.
