Distribution Watch: Venice 2023
Tracking which titles from Venice have North American distribution
Last updated: September 01, 2024
Titles in bold will have a North American distributor, which I’ll include with a source linked to the distributor’s name. I’ll add award winners in italics once they’re handed out, and will probably announce updates on my Twitter account if you’re not following me there already. Programmes dedicated to short films and TV series are not included as it’s too difficult to track (some shorts are included as they are within programmes dedicated mainly to features).
And if I’m missing anything or need to make any corrections/changes, please comment or reach out to let me know so the list can stay up to date.
