From Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited Frankenstein to Luca Guadagnino’s taut psychological drama After the Hunt, Sofia Coppola’s fashion-world portrait Marc by Sofia and Yorgos Lanthimos’s off-kilter Bugonia – Wonderland’s guide to Venice Film Festival 2025 is here.
As summer winds down, the Lido becomes film’s grandest stage. Some might call it the fashion week of cinema, but the Venice Film Festival is its proving ground – a place where filmmakers unveil work designed to endure. The standing ovations, the paparazzi flashes, the gowns sweeping the red carpet: that’s the gloss. Beneath it runs the true engine — a programme that decides which stories will dominate awards season, steer cultural discourse, and set the tone for the year ahead.
Last year’s programme yielded Brady Corbet’s monumental The Brutalist and Walter Salles’s heartbreaking I’m Still Here. Now, Guadagnino returns with a moral thriller, Coppola turns her camera on one of fashion’s defining figures, del Toro brings his own vision of Shelley’s myth, and Lanthimos continues his surreal interrogation of human absurdity. And of course, so much more.
Here, we roundup the premieres on our radar for this year’s Venice Film Festival.
Frankenstein by Guillermo Del Toro
The undisputed maestro of horror and fantasy is making a splash at Venice once again, leading the buzz with one of the festival’s most eagerly awaited titles: Frankenstein. More than a decade in the making, this passion project sees Guillermo del Toro returning to one of his greatest muses – Mary Shelley’s iconic Gothic tale about a brilliant but somewhat reckless scientist whose monstrous creation certainly causes a stir. Oscar Isaac steps into the role of Victor Frankenstein, who then breathes life into the creature played by Jacob Elordi – a casting that sparked quite the chatter, after Andrew Garfield pulled out just nine weeks before filming was due to start. Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and Felix Kammerer finish the lineup.
Frankenstein premieres at Venice this September and lands on Netflix in November.

After the Hunt by Luca Guadagnino
Beloved Italian director and always a crowd favourite Luca Guadagnino is back at Venice – though this time, he’s swapped the sun-soaked romances of northern Italy and the drama of tennis courts for something a little darker. Enter After the Hunt, a psychological thriller with a cast list as attention-grabbing as its twisting, turny story.
At the heart of it is Alma Olsson, a Yale professor played by Julia Roberts, who navigates a deeply personal and professional storm when her student, Maggie Price (rising star Ayo Edebiri), accuses fellow professor Henrik Gibson (Andrew Garfield) of sexual assault. Premiering at Venice and hitting cinemas the following month, it’s definitely one to keep on your radar.

Marc by Sofia by Sofia Coppola
Sofia Coppola is back at Venice — but this time she’s changing tempo. Swapping her trademark cinematic reveries for the documentary lens, she’s joining forces with fashion icon Marc Jacobs to chronicle his extraordinary life. Marc by Sofia promises an intimate portrait of Jacobs’s journey: from his early days at Parsons in 1980s New York to becoming the creative force behind his own label, and his 16-year reign as Louis Vuitton’s artistic director.
Details remain tightly under wraps, but with Coppola and Jacobs’s decades-long friendship at its core, the film is set to offer something far richer than a standard fashion doc. We’ll find out when it premieres this September.
No Other Choice by Park Chan-wook
Squid Game’s Lee Byung-hun is back on the big screen, but don’t expect another deadly game this time. In Park Chan-wook’s latest film, No Other Choice, he plays Man-su — a man whose comfortable, ordinary life is suddenly shattered when he’s unexpectedly fired from his job. Faced with the terrifying prospect of losing everything he holds dear, including his wife (Son Yejin), their two children, and their home, Man-su embarks on what the film describes as “his own war of survival.”
Known for his intense and complex roles, Lee Byung-hun brings depth to Man-su’s desperate fight against forces threatening to unravel his family’s life. Park Chan-wook, celebrated for his visually striking and emotionally charged storytelling, promises a gripping blend of drama and suspense that explores the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones.

Bugonia by Yorgos Lanthimos
The Oscar-winning dream team is at it again. After the gloriously surreal Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos reunites with Emma Stone for another offbeat adventure. Their latest? Bugonia — a dark comedy inspired by the 2003 South Korean cult classic Save the Green Planet!, already making waves ahead of its Venice premiere.
The plot is as unhinged as it sounds: two conspiracy-loving misfits (Jesse Plemons and Stavros Halkias) abduct a high-powered CEO, convinced she’s an alien hellbent on wiping out Earth – an Emma Stone role to a T. Of course it’s unhinged; that’s the point. Lanthimos has a knack for spinning absurdity into something oddly profound, and if that weren’t enticing enough, Midsommar’s Ari Aster is on board as producer.

Father Mother Sister Brother by Jim Jarmusch
Cate Blanchett and Venice? A match made in film festival heaven. The Oscar winner returns once again, this time with Father Mother Sister Brother — a new film from indie icon Jim Jarmusch. Blanchett stars alongside Adam Driver, Vicky Krieps, Mayim Bialik, Tom Waits, Charlotte Rampling, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat in what promises to be a thoughtful, beautifully offbeat meditation on family.
The film unfolds across three interconnected stories, each one exploring the emotional tangles between adult children and their parents. Think unresolved tension, unspoken regrets, and those moments of clarity that hit when you least expect them. The stories span the globe — “Father” takes place in the northeastern US, “Mother” in Dublin, and “Sister Brother” in Paris — adding a subtle cultural texture to the emotional drama.
There’s no trailer yet and the details are still under wraps, but with a cast this good and Jarmusch at the helm, the expectations are high.
Jay Kelly by Noah Baumbach
Bringing some much-needed comic relief to the Lido, Jay Kelly is Noah Baumbach’s latest sharp-tongued, heart-on-its-sleeve creation. The story follows celebrated actor Jay Kelly, played by George Clooney, and his long-suffering yet fiercely devoted manager Ron, brought to life by Adam Sandler. What begins as a standard European work trip quickly unravels into a soul-searching escapade filled with awkward reunions, personal reckonings, and more than a few detours.
Clooney and Sandler are joined by an all-star supporting cast, including Laura Dern, Riley Keough, Eve Hewson and Greta Gerwig — so yes, you’re in excellent company. There’s no trailer just yet, but Jay Kelly is set to premiere at Venice before arriving on Netflix on 14 November.
The Smashing Machine by Benny Safdie
What’s a film festival without a biopic? This year, Benny Safdie enters the ring with The Smashing Machine, a raw and riveting portrait of UFC legend Mark Kerr. Taking on the role is none other than Dwayne Johnson, who leaves the polished action-hero image behind to embrace both the brutal physicality and the emotional fragility behind the fighter. The film is based on the acclaimed 2002 HBO documentary and follows Kerr’s rise from teenage wrestling prodigy to one of the most dominant figures in MMA. Alongside him is Emily Blunt as Dawn Staples, Kerr’s partner and emotional anchor.

Girl by Shu-Qi
This season at Venice, we’re in for a real treat — Taiwanese star Shu Qi is stepping behind the camera for the very first time with her directorial debut, Girl. Set in Taiwan in 1988, the film follows Hsiao-lee, a quiet, withdrawn girl living under a cloud of silence. That all starts to change when she crosses paths with Li-li, a whirlwind of energy and freedom who reignites dreams Hsiao-lee thought were long buried. But just as she begins to find her own voice, the past comes knocking — her mother Chuan’s secrets surface, echoing the very pain Hsiao-lee is desperate to leave behind. Caught between the weight of family history and her hunger for freedom, Hsiao-lee’s journey is as heartbreaking as it is hopeful.
