Venice Film Festival 2025 is officially underway, and you know what that means. Water taxis! Sunglasses! Standing ovations! Glam! Gowns! And no anti-nudity dress codes — so take that, Cannes!
Wednesday saw this year’s longest standing ovation so far, with a record 24 minutes of clapping for The Voice of Hind Rajab, a film about a young Palestinian girl who was killed by Israeli forces last year. Lovebirds Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix, who co-produced the film, captivated the red carpet beforehand.
