Venice Film Festival 2023: what's screening today at the Venice International Film Festival?

Only a few more days until the 80th Venice International Film Festival draws to a close, but there are still a number of highlights to come, with the Gold Lion presentation for the best film screened in competition the big gong after Wes Anderson collected the Cartier Glory to Filmmaking award on Sunday ahead of his latest premiere, 'The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.'

It's a red carpet day today once again, with Jessica Chastain arriving in Venice to promote her new film, 'Memory,' in which the actress plays Sylvia, "a social worker who leads a simple and structured life: her daughter, her job, her AA meetings. This is blown open when Saul follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past."

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?

Access 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.
