The Hollywood Reporter Venice comeback

Today’s article in the Hollywood Reporter that I read is about the Famous Venice film festival. More specifically they’re talking about the film festival re opening to the public, tomorrow on September 2nd actually! According to the article this will be the first in person major film festival since the pandemic started. I do hope that they will be alright doing this and the article mentions they will have some safety guidelines. They quote the festival manager as saying that “no one can stay in lockdown forever.” He’s right about that, because this year has already been pretty terrible with COVID, protests, and lots of other terrible things. So what people need now is a little stress relief so that they can let off some burden. Don’t get me wrong they should still be smart and take precautions, but still should be having fun doing it. We can’t just stay locked up till a vaccine comes. The festival has already picked up a film line up as well with movies called “Nomadland” and “The World to Come.” This is what the film business really needs right now, because since the pandemic started, they haven’t really been able to release much new stuff in theatres. I just hope it goes well and that everyone there stays healthy.
