A few weeks ago, in an interview published in Corriere della Sera, he responded to a question about how it feels to be in the chair of the President of the Venice Biennale: “Very well: an international context, an extraordinary team. I enjoy observing where the world is heading through the arts.” It is with this spirit of a privileged observer that Pietrangelo Buttafuoco is about to inaugurate, but above all follow day by day, his first (as President) Venice International Film Festival.

The Festival has the oracular power of reading ongoing reality and capturing upcoming trends. I am certain that during this year’s Festival, the 81st, the selected movies will project their images well beyond the silver screen, illuminating – as they meet the future halfway – our desire to know.
