"Floating Cinema – Unknown Waters" in Venice opened

1. Held from August 25th to September 10th, 2022, the ‘Floating Cinema – Unknown Waters’ takes place on the waters of the Venetian lagoon.

Films, performances, music and theatre, involving both international and local artists, are presented on stage and screen in the waters behind the island of Giudecca, at the end of Rio de Sant’Eufemia.

The audience can access and watch the programming either from their own boats or from a platform designed to accommodate spectators without access to a boat.

The central theme of the third edition of the festival is the surreal, dreamlike and hallucinatory visions, and the absurd. This search for paradox is at the core of the nature of the Floating Cinema – Unknown Waters where, in a floating context that leans towards the unreal, its first aim is to trigger a collective enchantment in the lagoon horizon. This year’s programming therefore aims to echo this mechanism and amplify the perception that transcends the ordinary.

2. "Floating Cinema – Unknown Waters" Is a Venetian One-of-a-Kind Cultural Experience

Basically, there is a solid floating platform out on the water with a projection screen on it. Spectators can either rent a gondola and come to the movie or sit on chairs along nearby pontoons. And, of course, the beast seats in the house (or should I say "on the deck"?) are on the screening platform.

This year marks the third edition of the "Floating Cinema: Unknown Waters" annual festival, which is held between August 25 and September 10.
