Willem Dafoe, Kleber Mendonça Filho Rock Venice Film Festival’s Pre-Opening Rooftop Party at Danieli Hotel, Co-Hosted by Leone Film Group


Venice Festival celebrates pre-opening night at Danieli Hotel, bringing together Willem Dafoe who stars in 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.'

Co-hosted by the Leone Film Group, Variety and the Danieli Hotel, the glamorous bash brought together a mix of stars, global industry movers and shakers, including hitmaking Italian director Paolo Genovese, Los Angeles-based producer Niels Juul (“Ferrari”) and Bárbara Paz, a Brazilian actor and filmmaker. Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh pointed out that “Alberto is being a little modest,” noting that “if you look at the recent movies that have won the Golden Lion, you have “Poor Things”; “Nomadland”; “Joker”; “Roma” and “The Shape of Water,” among other titles. Following the speeches, Joe T Vannelli spun thumping house beats while guests sipped cocktails inspired by Chopin’s sonatas and dibbed on esoteric food, including shrimp gazpacho in coconut tempura and tandoori; creme fraiche and caviar tartelettes; and an exotic soup with mango sorbet.
