The complete lineup of the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival is out!

Last year’s festival, held amid the SAG AFTRA strike, was a hush affair with very few celebrity appearances. Now that the wave has passed, the film festival of 2024 is predicted to be a starry affair. Films like Joker: Folie à Deux, Maria, and Wolfs, among others, will be honored at the prestigious ceremony!

 

Venice Film Festival 2024 contenders 

On Tuesday, July 23, the films set to premiere at the event were announced, including some highly anticipated titles. Todd Phillips’ Joaquin Phoenix/Lady Gaga starrer Joker: Folie à Deux is among them. 

The Warner Bros. sequel to the 2019 Joker— which was nominated for 11 Oscars and collected $1B at the global box office—is undoubtedly the highest-profile movie among the contenders. Moreover, pop sensation Gaga joining the musical thriller and making her debut in the DC universe is highly enticing for fans. 

Luca Guadagnino, who premiered his Zendaya starrer film Challengers last year amid the strike, is back at the film festival for his new film Queer based on the William S Burroughs novel, starring Daniel Craig Lesley Manville and Jason Schwartzman. 

Angelina Jolie might appear on the Venice red carpet to support her film Maria, Pablo Larrain's biopic on the legendary opera singer. Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, and Jean Reno starrer A24 film from filmmaker Halina Reijn is also on the lineup.
