The 83rd Venice Film Festival opens tonight with Danny Boyle’s “Ink,” but the event will offer more than a competition between films.
At the opening ceremony, George Clooney will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. The award recognizes his entire professional career as an actor, director and producer.
The festival is also presented as a guide to the direction cinema is taking. Its program will offer a chance to consider what the auteur concept means today and how far the boundary between movie theaters and digital platforms has eroded.
In that sense, Venice continues to serve as a barometer for the changing face of cinema.
