Julianne Moore and Leila Hatami attend the jury photocall during the 79th Venice International Film Festival

The evening, titled “Cinema Danieli—An Unforgettable Story,” on the terrace of the plush Hotel Danieli, which turns 200 this year, has become a festival tradition dating back 13 years. It was introduced by Claudio Staderini, director of the Danieli, who described the hotel as the shooting and residential choice of many of the biggest movie stars in the world. Festival artistic director Alberto Barbera said that the Variety and Danieli pre-festival cocktail was “the best way to start the festival on the wonderful terrace of the Danieli, one of the most beautiful places in Venice and the world.”
