The Venice Festival kicked off with a marked political tone. Actors and filmmakers present at the event left warnings and politically charged messages during the festival's opening.
During the opening speeches, the threats facing journalism today were highlighted. Participants recalled the importance of the journalistic profession and the dangers that professionals in the field face in various countries.
Artificial Intelligence was another of the topics addressed in the speeches. Participants warned about the risks associated with the development and growing use of this technology, without specifying what measures they advocate for.
The festival, one of the most prestigious in world cinema, thus began marked by reflections on the contemporary challenges affecting society and culture.
