Venice Critics’ Week Unveils 2026 Selection With Films From Colombia, China & Tunisia
Venice parallel sidebar Settimana Internazionale della Critica (International Critics’ Week) has unveiled the lineup for its 41st edition.
The section, organised by the Union of Italian Film Critics (SNCCI) and focused on works by emerging filmmakers, will showcase seven features in competition and two films out of competition.
Colombia has a strong presence this year with two works tapping into the country’s turbulent history. Bibiana Rojas Gómez and Juan David Cárdena will compete with The End of Times, a radical essay film using archive footage and artificial intelligence to reflect on memory and colonialism. They are joined by countryman Sebastián Múnera’s Meteorite, which is described as an intense female-centred story set in a land still haunted by the ghosts of violence.
