The 83rd Venice Film Festival officially began on 2 September 2026 with the world premiere of the film 'Ink' on the opening night. The event drew significant attention as the festival's lead actors and director arrived on the red carpet for the high-profile screening.

Claire Foy was among the first to pose for photographers, marking her presence at the Lido for the festival's curtain-raiser. She was joined by co-stars Guy Pearce and Jack O'Connell, who also stopped to greet fans and media before entering the screening venue.

Director Danny Boyle, who helms the project, was also present at the premiere, adding to the occasion's significance. The gathering of the principal cast and crew underscored the film's role as the centrepiece of the festival's opening night.

The premiere sets the tone for what is expected to be a busy programme of screenings and events over the coming days, with 'Ink' now officially part of the festival's competitive or out-of-competition slate, as per the organisers' schedule.
