George and Amal Clooney at Venice 2026 Opening
During the opening of the 2026 Venice International Film Festival, star George Clooney received the honorary Golden Lion Award in recognition of his career and contributions to cinema. He explained that he is currently stepping back from directing because he prefers to spend more time with his twin children, noting that acting allows him to return home more quickly—for instance, filming as an actor takes about three months, whereas directing a film can take up to a year. He also warned about the impact of artificial intelligence on the film industry, especially regarding visual effects technologies, predicting that technological advancements might lead to the loss of some jobs. He called on the industry to develop mechanisms to address this to ensure its sustainability. Venice still holds a special place in his heart, as he married Amal Clooney there in 2014, and he plans to enjoy a quiet evening with his wife after the award ceremony.
