Stars walk red carpet for 'Bugonia' premiere at Venice Film Festival

The 82nd annual Venice Film Festival has officially kicked off across the pond, with both fashionable events once again marking the end of summer. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, when stars descend on scenic locales across the globe while launching awards campaigns they hope might eventually lead to the Oscar stage.

The three-week whirlwind begins August 27, when the Festival launches, bringing glitz, glamour, and stars on boats to Italy’s Eternal City. Each year promises show-stopping fashion and award-winning cinema.
