Venice Festival 2026 will premiere film shot in Rapa Nui and return of the Chilean-Italian Marco Bechis

The 83rd edition of the Venice Film Festival announced its lineup, featuring several international directors competing for the Golden Lion award.

Additionally, Chilean-Italian filmmaker Marco Bechis returns with his first feature film in 11 years, 'Ritorno a Buenos Aires,' which is based on his personal experience of being detained and tortured by Argentina's dictatorship. The film stars Adriano Giannini and includes Argentine actors. Other notable entries include works by South Korean director Lee Chang-dong and British director Danny Boyle.
