Distribution Watch: Venice 2024

Tracking which titles from Venice have North American distribution

Cloud (dir. Kiyoshi Kurosawa)

Last updated: May 5, 2026

Titles in bold will have a North American distributor, which I’ll include with a source linked to the distributor’s name. I 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 may be included if 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.
