Venice Countdown

Hollywood Elsewhere flies to Copenhagen around dinner hour on Saturday, 8.23 (48 hours hence). Two days later my Milan train arrives at Venice’s Santa Lucia station at 4:40 pm Monday (8.25). I’ll be in the pad by 6:30 pm or so, after which I’ll quickly hop on a vaporetto to the Lido Casino to pick up my press and vaporetto pass, probably by 8 pm or thereabouts.

Like everyone else, this morning I reserved my press and industry tickets for the first three days of the festival (8.27 thru 8.29). I got tickets to everything I wanted to see except for Luca Guadagnino‘s After the Hunt, which I didn’t pounce on quickly enough.

And now I’m blocked from attending the two big press screenings on Thursday (8.28) evening…the one Venice film I was most looking forward to and I can’t get a ticket…terrific!

I’ve asked a couple of well-connected pallies for some help in this regard….here’s hoping.

HE to Venice press office: “Are there any plans to schedule a spill-over screening of After The Hunt for slowboat douchebags like myself? Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!”
