VENICE FILM FESTIVAL

The 79th Venice International Film Festival is organised by La Biennale di Venezia and directed by Alberto Barbera.

The aim of the Festival is to raise awareness and promote international cinema in all its forms as art, entertainment and as an industry, in a spirit of freedom and dialogue. The Festival also organises retrospectives and tributes to major figures as a contribution towards a better understanding of the history of cinema.

TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL

11 days of international and Canadian cinema, special events featuring some of the biggest names in film, and TIFF’s Industry Conference, offering diverse and innovative perspectives on the art and business of film.

As France and Italy enforce exclusive cinema runs, execs now have to consider whether it’s worth bypassing exhibitors altogether (and forgoing grosses) to boost streamers.
