2020 Venice Film Festival Day 1 – First Look on Opening Ceremony

Hi, Blanchetters!

Here’s our first look on the red carpet and opening ceremony for 2020 Venice Film Festival. We’ll be updating more photos in the next few days. Meanwhile, here are pictures and videos from when Cate delivered her speech as jury president and when she presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Tilda Swinton. The full red carpet and opening ceremony is also below. Cate arrived at 30:40. Enjoy!
