## Key points

- Venice unveils an indie-focused, star-studded 83rd festival line-up.
- McDonagh, Zeller and Boyle have major films in competition.
- Oasis reunion documentary is set for its world premiere.

## Summary

The Venice Film Festival has announced a star-led but comparatively subdued programme for its 83rd edition, with films from acclaimed international directors including Martin McDonagh, Florian Zeller and Danny Boyle. The selection matters because it reinforces Venice’s role as a major awards-season launchpad while foregrounding independent cinema over Hollywood studio and streaming releases.

McDonagh will compete for the Golden Lion with “Wild Horse Nine”, a dark comedy set before Chile’s 1973 coup and starring John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell and Steve Buscemi. Zeller’s psychological thriller “Bunker”, featuring Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, and Boyle’s opening film “Ink”, about Rupert Murdoch and the launch of The Sun, are also among the highlights; an Oasis reunion documentary, “Don’t Look Back in Anger”, is expected to bring Liam and Noel Gallagher to the Lido.
