Venice

Lee Chang-dong's 'Possible Love', a winner at the Venice Film Festival, is among the selections announced for AFI Fest 2026. The inclusion secures the acclaimed Korean director's latest film a high-profile North American festival showcase following its Venice recognition.

A film titled NAZA is being released in cinemas this week, and Israel is reportedly furious about it. Commentators argue the film should also be screened inside Israel, saying that showing it there would make it harder for what they call slander around the film to spread. Attention around the film's Venice festival presence is adding to the discussion about its release.
