The Venice Film Festival has opened with a high-profile premiere and a guest list packed with international stars, including Claudia Schiffer, whose arrival was captured by paparazzi.

The 83rd festival began on Sept. 2 on Venice’s Lido Island with “Ink,” a new film by British director Danny Boyle, best known for “Trainspotting.” The drama tells the story of media magnate Rupert Murdoch’s rise.

The opening ceremony also brought a major honor for George Clooney, who received the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement. The award added further star power to an event that draws global attention each year.

Among this year’s guests are Robert Pattinson, John Malkovich, Penélope Cruz, Rooney Mara, Claudia Schiffer, and Oasis leaders Liam and Noel Gallagher. The festival has also become a traditional starting point for awards season, with performers and films noticed in Venice often going on to receive Oscar recognition.

The festival will end on Sept. 12 with “Dio ride,” an Italian period drama directed and written by Giovanni Veronesi.
