The 36th Venice International Film Critics’ Week is a parallel and independent section organized by the National Union of Italian Film Critics (SNCCI)
during the 78th Venice International Film Festival (1-11 September 2021). Founded in 1984 by Italian film historian and critic Lino Micciche, throughout the years the Venice Critics’s Week has been showcasing first feature films by emerging directors who went on establishing themselves in the international panaroma. The programme includes a selection of seven debut films in competition and two special events out of competition.
We had a chance to interview Beatrice Fiorentino, the festival artistic director, on the festival and its plan for the next edition.
