29 august - 8 septembrie, Venetia. Insula Lido, care desparte celebra laguna de marea Adriatica, se va mai scufunda cu siguranta cativa centimetri din cauza numelor cu greutate ce se pregatesc sa se bucure de festivalul de film de la Venetia, probabil cel mai important dupa cel de la Cannes. Numai cele 22 de filme din competitie si deja inghesuiala de celebritati devine insuportabila: Keira Knightley va deschide festivalul cu noul ei film, Atonement, care va ajunge in februarie si in Romania, Brad Pitt isi lanseaza westernul bazat pe viata celebrului bandit Jesse James, George Clooney revine in Michael Clayton, iar Richard Gere si Cate Blanchett ii dau viata lui Bob Dylan in filmul I'm Not There al lui Todd Haynes. Ang Lee, Nikita Mihalkov, Ken Loach (de-abia plecat de la Anonimul), Takashi Miike, Brian de Palma, Wes Anderson si Kenneth Brannagh vor fi cu totii prezenti pe Lido, pentru a-si promova filmele, in speranta ca vor pune mana pe unul dintre cele opt trofee ale festivalului.
Nici din juriu nu lipsesc celebritatile: acesta este condus de Zhang Yimou, castigatorul a doua trofee Leul de Aur, si va avea o misiune dificila, dat fiind ca majoritatea regizorilor prezenti in competitie sunt adevarati maestri ai celei de-a saptea arte. Cu o editie foarte comerciala, festivalul de film de la Venetia va interesa cu siguranta iubitorii de film din Romania, pentru ca este foarte posibil ca mai bine 15 pelicule prezente in festival sa ajunga si pe marile ecrane din Romania. De aceea Cinemagia va fi prezenta la fata locului si va va tine la curent cu detalii despre toate evenimentele importante petrecute pe durata intregului festival. Cat despre filme, unele sunt deja programate pentru lansare anul acesta (Michael Clayton), iar altele la inceputul lui 2008 (Atonement, The Darjeeling Limited), dar cu siguranta acestea nu vor fi singurele care vor ajunge si in Romania.
