Denis Villeneuve’s much-anticipated feature film “Dune” will have its world premiere at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. The Warner Bros Pictures and Legendary Pictures epic, based on Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction best-seller, will premiere on September 3, at Venice’s Sala Grande, the festival organisers said in a statement. The movie will be screened out-of-competition at the 78th edition of the prestigious film extravaganza, which will run from September 1 to 11 this year.
The ongoing Print Biennale Exhibition at Lalit Kala Akademi, Chennai, unfolds as a journey far beyond India’s borders, tracing artistic lineages shaped by revolution and resistance across Latin America and nNorthern Africa. Presented as a collateral event of the Third Print Biennale of India, the exhibition features a selection from the Boti Llanes family collection, initiated by Dr Llilian Llanes, recipient of Cuba’s National Award for Cultural Research, and curated in India by her daughter, Liliam Mariana Boti Llanes. Bringing together the works of 48 printmaking artists from regions including Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, the exhibition is rooted in the socio-political upheavals of the 1980s and 1990s. It shows printmaking as both a political and creative tool, with works that weave stories across countries and continents.
