LIVE: Schnabel’s 'In the Hand of Dante' premieres at Venice as stars skip red carpet

U.S. director Julian Schnabel's ‘In the Hand of Dante’ premieres at Venice, with many of its stars skipping the red carpet and only Oscar Isaac and supporting actors expected to join the director. This comes as Schnabel criticized calls for two of the stars of his latest film, Gal Gadot and Gerard Butler, not to show up at the Venice Film Festival over their support for Israel.

Last month a collective of hundreds of film industry figures, Venice4Palestine, urged the festival to take a robust stand over the war in Gaza.
