Venice Film Festival announced the programme for its 80th edition, including a 23-strong Competition with new films from David Fincher, Sofia Coppola, Ava DuVernay, Yorgos Lanthimos, Bradley Cooper and Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

The selection was announced by festival president Roberto Cicutto and artistic director Alberto Barbera. The SAG-AFTRA strike in the US has had a “quite modest” impact on the selection according to Barbera, who was forced to pull Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers as the opening film over the weekend due to the strike.
Other filmmakers in competition include Matteo Garrone, Michael Mann, Pablo Larrain, Stephane Brize and Lucy Besson. Controversially, titles by Roman Polanski and Woody Allen have been selected out of competition.
Challengers was replaced as opening film by Edoardo De Angelis’ Comandante. The closing film is JA Bayona’s Spanish-language Netflix title Society Of The Snow.
Damien Chazelle will preside over the competition jury which also includes Jane Campion, Mia Hansen-Løve, Laura Poitras, Martin McDonagh, Saleh Bakri, Gabriele Mainetti, Santiago Mitre and Shu Qi.
The Venice Critics’ Week line-up was announced yesterday.
