Venice Film Festival Side Event Announces 2026 Lineup Honoring Late Founder

Giornate degli Autori, a parallel section of the Venice Film Festival, has revealed its 2026 program. The lineup is dedicated to Giorgio Gosetti, the section's late founder, and focuses on female-driven stories. The opening film will be "My Notes on Mars," the first English-language movie by Hungarian director Lili Horvát. The sci-fi romance stars Mackenzie Davis as a scientist who disappears during a hiking trip and returns on the day of her own funeral. The selection includes several other films centered on women, though full details have not yet been released. Giornate degli Autori was established in 2004 as an independent platform within the Venice Film Festival, aiming to highlight new trends and emerging talent in cinema.
