VOICED : Festival de Cine de Venecia la nueva ventana hacia el Oscar

The Venice Film Festival has set a goal to become a precursor to the Oscars, with several films from the festival winning the prestigious award in recent years. The festival has strategically opened up to the US market to enhance its international standing. This year, Latin American cinema has a strong presence, with four films in the official competition. While past films directly addressed social issues, this year's entries tackle these themes indirectly through novels or genres. South America is highlighted for its innovation and support for young directors.
