(ANSA) - VENICE, AUGUST 31 - WHITE NOISE by Noah Baumbach, the opening film and in competition at Venice 79 with Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, is a Netflix film, from December 30th on the platform, at least in Italy, for cinemas .
An inevitable sign of the times, "but we don't have to be afraid of advancing technology, what counts and what counts is art, the ability of cinema to excite us" says Julianne Moore, the president of the jury who on Saturday 10 September will award the Golden Lion of Film exhibition celebrating 90 years.
"We often talk about platforms and rooms with purely commercial discourses, different modes of use that change with technological advances, but the important thing is art, telling stories, knowing other cultures and this will always be there with art, theater and cinema ", continues the 61-year-old American actress, one of the most popular and award-winning of her generation, five-time Oscar nominee who won in 2014 with Still Alice.
"I would never have thought of being part of the Venice jury, let alone presiding over it, my first time at the Lido was in 1986, I was a soap actress (the historic So the world turns - As the World Turns, ed). a great honor, but the jury is something collective, I'm just a guide, a representative, and I can't wait to start. As a spectator, watching films from all over the world is a source of great inspiration, very exciting, it makes us feel close. We know directors, but we don't know what to expect from their new films.
What will be decisive? The one that will make my heart beat fast. "
