Hollywood's biggest stars are heading to Venice, Italy, for the 82nd Venice Film Festival. This prestigious international event, second only to Cannes, kicks off on Wednesday and runs through September 6.

Venice Immersive highlights projects that use virtual, augmented and mixed reality to create immersive digital worlds.

As the fall festivals start to roll out, awards season will take shape, best-of-the-year lists will firm up, and some of our favorite filmmakers will debut new work.
