Venice Winner Péter Kerekes Returns to Lido With Astrology-Themed ‘Wishing on a Star,’ Debuts First Clip: ‘Everyone’s Looking for Love’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Péter Kerekes, awarded in Venice for ‘107 Mothers,’ returns to Lido with ‘Wishing on a Star’ sold by Films Boutique and debuting clip.

In 2021, Kerekes picked up the Horizons award for best screenplay alongside Ivan Ostrochovský for “107 Mothers.” Now, he is back in Venice with “Wishing on a Star,” but he didn’t immediately jump at the chance to follow Luciana de Leoni D’Asparedo, a Neapolitan astrologer who asks her clients to take life-changing trips on their birthdays in order to be “reborn.” The film, produced by Wieser, Barbiani, Kerekes, Lucia Candelpergher, Anna Mach Rumanová, Vít Schmarc, Vanja Jambrovic, Tibor Keser and Stefano Centini, debuts an exclusive clip above. Newly converted, Kerekes – also behind “Velvet Terrorists” and “Cooking History” – turned his attention to Luciana’s clients as well, ready to head to the end of the world for their “birthday trips.”
