The Lido's beaches empty abruptly as the world's most beautiful people descend upon the 81st Venice International Film Festival. This isn't just another stop on the awards circuit - it's where Oscar campaigns are born between spritzes and scandalous lagoon swims.
2024's Hottest Tickets
- The Timothée Chalamet Effect - His new film premieres September 2, guaranteeing Lido Beach will be 300% more French
- The Netflix Invasion - Three major streamers take over Palazzo del Cinema with VR experiences
- Secret Screenings - Look for handwritten signs pointing to 10 PM projectors set up in gondola garages
Local Intel: The real drama happens at Hotel Excelsior's private beach, where producers make deals between midnight swims.
PrestigeFly's Silver Screen Experience
- Business class flights with in-air film festivals curated by last year's jury president
- Red Carpet Ready styling from Venice's last master lacemakers
- A-List Access to Murano glass afterparties (yes, Timothée really did break a chandelier last year)
