Venice Film Festival 2026 Highlights Oasis Documentary and Elon Musk Portrait

The 83rd Venice International Film Festival’s non‑competition program features a documentary on the legendary British rock band Oasis, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. The film examines the volatile relationship between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher and the broader dynamics of the modern music industry. Another centerpiece is a four‑hour documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Alex Gibney that profiles tech billionaire Elon Musk, probing his influence on global technology, social media, and geopolitics. Organisers emphasize that the festival’s out‑of‑competition sections are becoming key venues for exploring contemporary culture, politics, and technology through cinema.

The Venice lineup, held on the Lido, showcases a blend of pop‑culture subjects and investigative storytelling, positioning the festival as a forum for critical debate beyond traditional auteur cinema.
