Venice 2026 Critics' Week Lineup
The "Critics' Week" section of the Venice Film Festival announced its program for the 83rd edition, featuring a lineup of seven feature films premiering worldwide. All of these are by new directors, and notably, there is no American film in the lineup. Leading the list is "Our Share of the Sand" by director Shalini Adnani, which tells the story of a girl who returns to rural India to rebuild her relationship with her father. The documentary "End of Time" from Colombia highlights the role of artificial intelligence in reinterpreting Colombia's history. Also included is the film "The Nib" about a entertainment city project on land once owned by Pablo Escobar, and an Italian film about a young man raised in a racist environment who falls in love with an immigrant. Other films from Tunisia, China, and Brazil explore themes such as memory control, social transformations, and challenges faced by people with disabilities. The coordinator emphasized that these films reflect the ability of independent cinema to renew its vision and introduce a new generation of directors. The films are competing for the "Venice Horizons" award, worth $100,000. The festival runs from September 2 to 12.
