"Damien Chazelle and Venice Jury Support Hollywood Strikes: Prioritizing Art"
Damien Chazelle, the international jury president at the Venice Film Festival, expressed support for the ongoing strikes in Hollywood, emphasizing the importance of "art over content." Chazelle highlighted the erosion of the idea that each work of art has inherent value and should be remunerated accordingly. The strikes have impacted the festival, with some high-profile stars unable to attend, but films with traditional distribution and independent movies can still promote at the event.
