Venice Film Festival 2023: What’s screening today at Venice, as Michael Mann's 'Ferrari' hits the red carpet

All eyes are on the red carpet this evening as the 80th Venice International Film continues today, with Michael Mann’s latest film, ‘Ferrari,’ due for its red carpet premiere at 6:30pm CEST (5:30pm BST.) While red carpet affairs are always intrigue for PeopleWorld, given the SAG-AFTRA strike is ongoing, we’re interested to see what A-Listers might be gracing the carpet - and what they’ll wear.

Given yesterday’s red carpet event at the launch of the festival, many skipped their Dior and Versace outfits and instead opted for T-shirts showing their support for the ongoing Hollywood strikes

With the news late last week that Adam Driver is scheduled to be at the festival, it should be equally interesting to hear his thoughts too as the cast and crew of ‘Ferrari’ are planned for a press conference at a scheduled 1:15pm CEST (12:15pm BST) start times. Could Driver use this as an opportunity to discuss matters regarding the strike?

Those of us who don’t have the luxury of attending the Venice International Film Festival this year and still want to be part of it - have no fear! Much akin to the Cannes Film Festival, Venice also has a live stream available to watch press conferences and red carpet affairs - by virtue of their website.

So without further ado, what’s on the schedule today at the Venice International Film Festival?

How can I get tickets to screenings at the Venice International Film Festival?

Tickets to the screenings mentioned this weekend as part of the 80th Venice International Film Festival are available through the festival’s official website.

That information also includes how much tickets and subscriptions to this year’s event will cost based on screening times and locations; 5pm and 10pm screenings look to be your cheaper option if you were to see a film at the Sala Grande, and then balloon for prime-time, early evening screenings.
