, Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Moore mused that while most discussions “about the future of cinema” tend to focus on the film business, “it’s more about what’s being created” and the stories being told . “For me, that’s what Venice is all about, [it’s a] chance to see all these incredible pieces.”
Netflix dominated Venice this year with four films in the competition, including Wednesday night’s opening night Noah Baumbach’s film White Noise. But Moore has not been drawn into the debate over whether there is a difference between streaming movies and movie-first movies.

Moore is no stranger to Venice, but said she was surprised to be back to judge this year’s competition. “When I first came to Venice, I was an American soap opera actor, it was 1986. If I knew then I would be here as jury president, I would be out Into the canal!”
