They’re not in the main competition. None is opening the Italian festival. Why? Because they’re all here with television series
Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett are all at the Venice film festival. What’s odd is why some of them are here
Some Rubicon has been crossed. A full eight years ago, Screen International, one of the main trade papers, ran a story headlinedThe move was already under way. In 2014, Cannes screened episodes of David Lynch’s return to Twin Peaks. Programmers in that Screen piece seemed largely happy with the development. “Getting people out to a theatre to have a collective experience only helps support the importance of the big screen,” Genna Terranova, then director of Tribeca Film Festival, enthused.
Many of the responses in the Screen article made the argument about quality. Of course there was excellent television in the much-vaunted millennial golden age. There was superb television in the 1970s and 1980s. That’s not the point. There is a great deal of good theatre out there as well, but nobody is trying to insinuate that medium into film festivals.
