The film stars Matt Damon, who also appears in Clooney’s crime thriller Suburbicon. Like the Cannes film festival, which took the unprecedented step of premiering both TV series and virtual reality works at this year’s festival, Venice is embracing changing media. The Venice film festival runs from 30 August to 9 September. Actor Annette Bening is the president of this year’s main competition jury, which also features directors Edgar Wright and Michel Franco and actor Rebecca Hall. Bening is the first woman to head the main competition jury in 11 years.
