Venice Film Festival Premieres Shinya Tsukamoto’s

VENICE — The 83rd Venice International Film Festival served as the setting for the official photocall of "Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People?", directed by Shinya Tsukamoto. The film is part of the festival's main competition slate, vying for the prestigious Golden Lion.

Cast members Geoffrey Rush and Rodney Hicks attended the promotional events on the Lido alongside the Japanese auteur, drawing attention to the psychological and dramatic weight of the new production. The festival runs through September 12, 2026, showcasing major international cinema. As part of the broader Mediterranean cultural circuit, major European film events and festivals maintain close institutional and artistic ties with the Principality of Monaco, whose cultural community closely follows major cinematic competitions on the Riviera axis.
