With the rise of the encroaching Toronto, the domestic competition offered by Rome and a hugely successful Cannes this year, the 70th Venice Film Festival - which begins on 28 August - is facing some pretty stiff competition. The lineup, however, is on the face of it relatively low-key, though there are some very interesting possibilities and potential surprises. Regular attendee George Clooney opens proceedings with Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, whilst in the main competition lie a mix of old hands - Errol Morris with his Donald Rumsfeld documentary, Hayao Miyazaki's last fable - along with fresh talents such as Kelly Reichardt (Night Moves) and Jonathan Glazer (with his Birth follow-up, Under the Skin).
Terry Gilliam also returns after an elongated absence, his The Zero Theorem starring Christoph Waltz as a hacker searching for the meaning of existence. The film hopefully marks a return to form for a filmmaker who...

His new film Walesa. Man of Hope premieres in Venice.
Venice will present the 2013 Persol prize to Polish director Andrzej Wajda.
The award will be presented on Sept 5, before the out of competition screening of Wajda’s latest film Walesa. Man of Hope.
Wajda’s films include Man of Iron, Ashes And Diamonds, The Promised Land, The Young Girls of Wilko and Katyn.
Venice film festival director Alberto Barbera said: “Wajda is not just the most emblematic director in post-war Polish filmmaking. He is the director who has been capable, in his work (over 50 films in his more than sixty-year career), of raising the most decisive and important questions about the history of his country, and consequently, of Europe in its entirety, inviting us to reflect on the critical relationship between personal experiences and those of an entire nation, between the anguish that often befalls individual destinies and the weight of the collective task they are called...

Warsaw, August 1: Here's one legend's tribute to another: Ace Polish director Andrzej Wajda is in the process of wrapping up his film on former Solidarity leader and former president Lech Walesa and describes it as his most difficult project.
Titled "Walesa", the film is scheduled to release in October.
"This is the most difficult movie in my life," confessed Wajda when he started the project in December 2011.
"Walesa" is a biographical production of the Polish leader who had the courage to challenge the mighty communist system in Poland. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 and was president from 1990 to 1995.
Walesa had led the first independent trade union in the Soviet-dominated East European.

Exclusive: Poland’s Akson Studio, producer of Andrzej Wajda’s Venice title Walesa. Man Of Hope, is preparing a film set in the world of the Polish mafia.
Speaking exclusively to ScreenDaily, producer Jan Kwiecinski said the feature, titled Totem, will be “a very raw movie in the vein of films like Bullhead or Pusher.”
He added: “It will be made with non-professional actors, very dark, low budget, and totally different from what we are doing at the moment.”
Totem will mark the feature directorial debut of Jakub Charon, who has previously written and directed two short films, Traces and Tension. He is also a member of alternative rock group NarcolipZ and an author of two novels.
Warsaw Uprising shoot underway
Akson is halfway through its 63-day shoot of Jan Komasa’s Warsaw44 about the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The $8m production is already being touted as the biggest Polish film of 2014.

Following the announcement that came earlier this week, launching yet another hugely impressive line-up at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, the respective line-up has now been announced for what is in some ways its European counterpart, the 2013 Venice Film Festival.
The announcement shows that the two will continue to have a number of films overlapping, including Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (the Opening Night Film in Venice), Peter Landesman’s Parkland, Stephen Frears’ Philomena, and more. But it also brings with its news of where a number of films will be making their debut, including Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem; the latest film from Hayao Miyazaki, The Wind Rises; James Franco’s Child of God; Lee Sang-il’s Yurusarezaru Mono, the Japanese remake of Unforgiven; and Steven Knight’s Locke, led by Tom Hardy, and shot in one take.

The Toronto Film Festival has 12 Years A Slave and Gravity, but the Venice Film Festival does not intend to be outdone. Gravity will open the festival, yes, but Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem will also put in an appearance. Plus there are new films from Stephen Frears, Paul Schrader and James Franco, who brings his Child Of God to play at Venice. Hayao Miyazaki’s latest The Wind Rises will show up at Venice too, after its Japanese tour. Then there are films from Errol Morris, Kelly Reichardt, and Frederick Wiseman. Oh, and the Japanese Unforgiven remake Yurusarezaru mono.
All in all, it’s not a bad line-up for Venice this year. Lots of films that we’ve already heard of and, as usual, a whole slew that we probably haven’t. Festival season is always an exciting time, less for the major works and more for the ones...

With still several films not yet announced for the behemoth Toronto Int. Film Festival, it appears that 2013 will be a significant cross-over year for Venice titles (Joe, Night Moves, Parkland, Philomena, Tracks, Under the Skin) landing in the Canadian capitol and from the get-go, it appears that Toronto programmers have indeed stole some of the thunder from the Alberto Barbera’s Lido, specifically in the case where they grabbed world premiere rights to Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave with the Fox Searchlight folks possibly looking to keep the film on North American soil. However, for the time being that are titles that are worth salivating over that will be making their preems on the Lido – along with a grab bag of Euro and Asian titles we have the highly anticipated showings for Hayao Miyazaki’s Kaze Tachinu, Tsai Ming-liang’s Stray Dogs, Xavier Dolan’s Tom a la Ferme...

With dramatic fare such as August: Osage County, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and Dallas Buyers Club, 2013′s Toronto Int. Film Festival once again will be shelving a wide-ranging quotient for Oscar-buzz titles. In the 70 plus title announcement made this morning, Tiff is chock-full in the type of titles that will essentially be putting the distribution companies in the dual modes of: a. buying up available items to stock up their 2014 slate, and b., launching their campaigns for the award season and giving their fall calenders an extra push.
Some might want to call this a Cumberbatchian type edition (Benedict Cumberbatch appears in August: Osage County, Tiff opener The Fifth Estate, and the Venice-bound 12 Years a Slave) but with only David Cronenberg (currently in production with Maps to the Stars) and Guy Maddin (currently in creative overdrive with Seances a.k.a Spiritismes), 2013 will be looked back upon as a...

Today the organizers of the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival announced about a quarter of the festival's lineup including Galas, Special Presentations and the fest's opening night film, which will be Bill Condon's Wikileaks feature The Fifth Estate. That, however, is just the start.
