George Clooney, Maggie Gyllenhaal, composer Alexandre Desplat and other figures are set to participate in an inaugural “The Future of… Creativity” forum in Venice next month, held alongside the Venice film festival. The event is presented by Finch & Partners and the talent agency CAA, with participation described as invitation-only.
Deadline reports that Venice festival director and jury host Alberto Barbera will host the gathering, and that Maggie Gyllenhaal—serving as the Venice jury president—will also speak. Other announced participants include director and screenwriter Giuseppe Tornatore and composer (credited in one outlet as Alexandre Desplat). Variety similarly frames the forum as a group discussion intended to convene leading voices around creativity.
While both outlets agree on the event’s timing during the festival and its organizers and theme, their coverage focuses on different lists and roles—one emphasizing the broader roster of participants and the press-release framing, and the other highlighting Barbera’s hosting and the inclusion of Tornatore and Desplat among the speakers.
