Around 300 protesters, dressed in white boiler suits, gathered on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, where celebrities like Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansson have premiered their movies. They held banners with messages about the climate crisis and against cruise ships, while chanting slogans and being surrounded by police. Chiara Buratti, a member of the Venice anti-cruise ship committee, stated that the protesters wanted to raise awareness about the climate crisis and hoped for celebrity support. The demonstration took place early in the morning and ended peacefully in the afternoon. The festival's last day is Saturday, when the winner of the Golden Lion prize will be announced. Buratti mentioned that the protesters were planning to hold a march on the Lido later in the day. The demonstrators, representing Italian and foreign groups, were participating in a five-day event called the Venice Climate Camp. Sina Reisch from the German group Ende Gelande emphasized that the climate crisis knows no borders, and it is essential to recognize that the struggles are interconnected. Rocker Mick Jagger and veteran actor Donald Sutherland showed their support for the demonstrators, who will present their thriller "The Burnt Orange Heresy" at a later event. Jagger expressed satisfaction that young people are taking action to protect the planet, as they will be the ones to inherit it. He mentioned the challenging environmental situation, particularly in the US where environmental protections are being dismantled by the current administration. Sutherland also praised environmental protesters for their efforts and emphasized the importance of supporting causes like migrant rights. He urged people to vote out politicians who do not prioritize environmental protection for the sake of future generations. He stated that they are destroying the world. While acknowledging our own contribution to its downfall, he emphasized that they are actively ensuring its destruction.
