Distribution Watch: Venice 2026

Last updated: August 9, 2026

Titles in bold will have a North American distributor, which I’ll include with a source linked to the distributor’s name. I will probably announce updates on my Twitter account if you’re not following me there already. Short films, retrospective titles, and TV series are not included as it’s too difficult to track.

And if I’m missing anything or need to make any corrections/changes, please comment or reach out to let me know so the list can stay up to date.
