Jim Jarmusch Film Father Mother Sister Brother Competes Venice

Jim Jarmusch's upcoming film "Father Mother Sister Brother" has been confirmed to compete at the Venice Film Festival, as announced by Mubi CEO Efe Cakarel during a keynote at SXSW London. The film is an anthology of three interconnected stories set in the U.S., Ireland, and France, exploring complex family dynamics among estranged siblings and their distant parents. Featuring a notable cast including Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Vicky Krieps, Mayim Bialik, and others, the film was shot last year and co-produced by multiple companies including Mubi, Saint Laurent Prods., and Ireland's Hail Mary. This marks Jarmusch's return to Venice, where he previously premiered films in 2003 and 2013. The film's production involved significant international collaboration and financing, highlighting its global scope and anticipation. Additionally, Mubi is expanding its focus to include TV series production, with projects like Wong Kar-wai's "Blossoms Shanghai" in development.
