The 11-day event draws together films makers
from around the world, giving invaluable exposure to small,
experimental production houses alongside some of the behemoths
of the industry, including streaming giant Netflix.
The 79th edition of the festival comes as traditional cinemas
are struggling to bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic,
raising questions over their financial viability.
"When we talk about the future of cinema it so often degrades
into what the future of business is and that is not the future
of art," Moore told reporters.
"There will always be different delivery systems. How we live,
how the world progresses is constantly changing, but art doesn't
change."
Art houses are looking to Venice to provide a strong flow of new
films that will help entice people out of their homes and back
into cinemas.
The Oscar-winning Moore said she was hoping to see movies that
made her heart beat faster during her time on the Lido.
"I have no idea what to expect and to have these 10 days to
watch these 23 films in competition and to not know every single
day what you are going to see and what your reaction is going to
be is electrifying," she said.
