2018 Venice Film Festival

Damien Chazelle is the youngest director whose film had the honor of opening the Venice Film Festival twice within two years. Two years ago with his successful, Golden Globe-winning, La La Land and again this year with his new film, First Man, in which Chazelle once again teams up with Ryan Gosling.

The 75th edition of the Venice Film Festival starts on Wednesday, August 29th, on another planet. The moon, to be precise, when Damien Chazelle returns to the Lido to open the fest with First Man, covering the defining years in the life of Neil Armstrong.
