Episode Venice 2026 #6, with Mariona Borrull, Leonardo Goi, Luke Hicks, and Öykü Sofuoğlu
For the past two weeks, Film Comment has been reporting from the picturesque shores of the Lido di Venezia, where the Venice Film Festival takes place each year.
For our final Podcast from this year's edition, which wrapped over the weekend, Film Comment Co-Editor Devika Girish invited critics Mariona Borrull, Leonardo Goi, Luke Hicks, and Öykü Sofuoğlu to discuss three late-festival premieres: Ali Asgari's A Bit of Light (4:30); Casey Affleck's Company (8:42); and Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor's NAZA (15:25). The group closed things out by shouting out their personal highlights from this year's Venice.
