This year’s Venice Film Festival kicked off this week and offers a welcome throwback.
Sure, the annual tribute to the best in international cinema has been a tradition for the past eight decades,
but 2020’s lack of star-studded events and joyous celebration has elevated it to new prominence.
As the first international fest since the coronavirus pandemic began, Venice reminds the world of the power of on screen creativity and red carpet fantasy.
Right now, the entire world is watching as the festival provides a template on how to safely stage a high profile event while adhering to health guidelines.
Masks and social distancing are now mandatory for attendees but that hasn’t dimmed the glamour.
The inspiration provided by Venice’s films, fashion, and stars gives a glimpse of the red carpet’s future in 2020 and beyond.
