Venice Critics’ Week Unveils Lineup, Including ‘Homegrown’ Doc About Group of White Supremacist Donald Trump Supporters
The Venice Critics' Week has unveiled its lineup, featuring U.S. Doc 'Homegrown' about a group of white supremacist Donald Trump supporters.
U.S. journalist and filmmaker Michael Premo’s doc “Homegrown,” which follows a group of white supremacist Donald Trump supporters from the 2020 campaign trail all the way to the attack on the U.S. Capitol, is among titles set to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week. The out-of-competition opener of the section dedicated to first works is French director Aude Léa Rapin’s “Planet B,” a cyberpunk sci-fi film starring Adèle Exarchopoulos (“Blue Is the Warmest Color”) about a group of political activists in 2039 France who, pursued by the state, vanish without a trace only to reawaken “trapped in an entirely unfamiliar world,” according to the provided synopsis. Describing her selection, Venice Critics’ Week general delegate Beatrice Fiorentino said the films represent a wide range of works that comprise “both genre and arthouse cinema” and employ a “realistic, documentary, sometimes ironic style,” or, “often metaphorically use the prism of magic realism.”
