For the sixth year in a row, I covered the Venice International Film Festival for FRED Film Radio, the online talk radio about all things cinema that I have collaborated with for a long time. There, I interviewed several guests, including directors and producers who presented movies within the program of the festival, which was the first of the major international film festivals to hold a physical edition.

Here is a selection of five of the video interviews I conducted at the Lido di Venezia.

Director Hilal Baydarov on his film In Between Dying, presented in competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival.

Director Julia von Heinz talks about And Tomorrow the Entire World, presented in competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival.

Actress Isabel May talks about her role in Run Hide Fight, presented out of competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival.

Director Ann Hui talks about her latest film, Love After Love, presented out of competition at the 77th Venice International Film Festival. The director was also honored at the festival with a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.

Director Ana Rocha de Sousa talks about her feature debut, Listen, presented in the Orizzonti section of the 77th Venice International Film Festival.
