The Venice Film Festival has begun unveiling its 2026 awards, with Ann Sirot and Raphaël Balboni’s ‘Diana in the Loop’ taking Best Film in the Orizzonti sidebar. The festival is also paying tribute to the late British producer Jeremy Thomas, who died Friday at 77.


Remember when a hyped Orizzonti winner vanished by October? Nothing changed. Now they mourn a legend between awards and call it cinema.
