🎬 IRANIAN CINEMA AT VENICE — glory on the Lido?

The world's oldest film festival crowns its winners this week, and Iran has a horse in the race. Ali Asgari's A Bit of Light — a story of dissidents waiting for a change that never comes — competes for the Golden Lion against giants like Danny Boyle, Martin McDonagh and Werner Herzog.

Iranian films punch far above their weight at the majors. But this is a stacked field, and Asgari's making his main-competition debut.

36% YES: an Iranian film takes an award at Venice.

An underdog with a real shot — the kind of story Venice juries love.

⏳ Betting closes Sep 11, 12:30 UTC — before the ceremony.
📊 Settled on the official Biennale results.
