UNTITLED   VENEZIA 70 – Future Reloaded   [ ITALY 2013 . 2 min . FORMAT 16 mm ]

In celebration of the 70th Venice International Film Festival (August 28 – September 7, 2013) the Biennale di Venezia has created the special project, Venezia 70 – Future Reloaded.

70 movie directors from all over the world have been invited to make a short film lasting between 60 and 90 seconds, in total creative freedom.

The invitation has been accepted by great masters, well-known directors, and young filmmakers of recognized talent. All have participated at the Venice Film Festival at least once over the past twenty years. Future Reloaded is both a collective movie tribute to the Festival (the world’s first film festival to celebrate its 70th edition) and a reflection on the future of cinema, as filtered through the personal artistic insight of each of the participating directors.
