We rounded up the best photos of celebs at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, starting with this shot…
Jessica Chastain attends the red carpet premiere for her movie "Memory" at the 80th Venice International Film Festival in italy on Sept. 8, 2023.
The actress was able to support the movie — in which she plays a recovering alcoholic social worker who works at a care facility — at the last minute after, just a day earlier, it was confirmed for a SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement amid the actors strike.
"I was incredibly nervous to be here today," she said, wearing a "SAG-AFTRA On Strike" T-shirt to the press conference. But her ultimate decision was to encourage independent producers to embrace the interim agreements allowed by the unions.
At a press conference for the movie — to which she wore a "SAG-AFTRA On Strike" T-shirt — Jessica said, as reported by Deadline, "I was incredibly nervous to be here today. I am here because SAG-AFTRA has been explicitly clear that the way to support the strike is to post on social media, walk the picket lines and to work and support interim agreement projects," she explained, adding, "When indie producers sign these agreements they are letting the world know, they are letting the AMPTP know that actors deserve fair compensation, they have protections that should be implemented and there should be sharing of streaming revenue. So I hope being here today encourages other producers, encourages actors to show up… Hopefully we'll see an end to the strike soon and hopefully the AMPTP will go back to the table."
The film co-starring Peter Sarsgaard received a seven-minute ovation during its world premiere at the festival.
