Luca Guadagnino to Receive Venice Festival’s Glory to the Filmmaker Award The Venice International Film Festival has recognized cinematic innovators throughout its history, but this year's decision to award Luca Guadagnino the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award is a testament to his ability to reinvent himself in an industry where artistic vision can be fleeting.
Guadagnino's latest documentary, Joie de vivre, premieres out of competition on September 8th and marks a departure from his usual narrative features.
The epic seven hour film explores the life and work of Bernardo Bertolucci, an Italian filmmaker who influenced Guadagnino's style.
