Venice Film Festival delves into docus





1 hour, 2 minutes ago


Italian director Michelangelo AntonioniVenice Film Festival


The official program for Venice was announced last week,
but news about sidebar and industry screenings continues to
trickle in as the festival's opening approaches.


Director Carlo di Carlo's "Antonioni on Antonioni" is based
on interviews with Antonioni. One of the authors of Italy's
neo-realism movement and a Venice regular, Antonioni died last
year at 94.


"Venezia Crepa" (Venice Dying) is a film about the
overcrowding of Venice, its deteriorating architecture and its
slow sink into the sea. It will screen in the festival's
industry section.


"Venezia '68," from Antonello Sarno and Steve della Casa,
is a documentary about the widespread student riots of 40 years
ago and the impact they had on the festival that year.


The Venice festival, in its 65th year, starts Wednesday and
concludes September 6.
