‘La La Land in Concert’ to Be Staged at Venice Film Festival as Part of Film’s 10th Anniversary

The event will be presented during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival under the Cartier Cinema Club program, marking 10 years since Damien Chazelle’s musical premiered.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

The 83rd Venice International Film Festival, La Biennale di Venezia, will feature “La La Land in Concert” as part of Cartier Cinema Club programming, according to an announcement by Deadline published July 24. The presentation is scheduled as part of the festival’s celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the 2016 film “La La Land,” directed by Damien Chazelle.

Deadline reports that the concert will be tied directly to the anniversary of the movie, which the outlet describes as a multi-award release that received 14 Academy Award nominations and won six Oscars. The film’s soundtrack and songs have been among its most prominent cultural touchpoints since release, and the concert format is intended to bring that material to the festival venue as a live music experience.

The event is positioned within the festival’s Cartier Cinema Club, a programming strand associated with special screenings and curated cultural experiences. Deadline describes the concert as taking place during the Venice festival, with the 10th anniversary framing the programming choice.

Deadline’s report presents the Venice appearance as an “exclusive” engagement connected to the film’s milestone year. The coverage also identifies the festival setting as La Biennale de Venezia, placing the performance in the context of one of the most prominent international film events in Europe.

Additional operational details, including the specific hall, performers, and schedule timing within the festival dates, were not included in the Deadline summary provided for this draft. Organizers and local festival pages typically publish such information closer to the festival’s programming calendar, and those details would be necessary to confirm seating and access information for attendees.

For audiences, the concert offers a different entry point into “La La Land” beyond traditional exhibition, emphasizing live performance of the film’s music during a major industry moment. For the festival, the tie-in reflects the ongoing emphasis on cross-format presentation of major studio-era titles, blending film culture with concert programming under brand-supported festival series.

The Venice Film Festival runs with a structured set of screenings and club-style events, and Cartier Cinema Club has served as a venue for curated, category-spanning experiences. The “La La Land in Concert” announcement indicates the anniversary celebration will be treated as an on-site cultural event rather than limited to press screenings or commemorative features.

As of this report, the primary publicly stated information centers on the festival’s role, the concert’s anniversary purpose, and the production credits highlighted in Deadline’s write-up. Further confirmation of artistic lineup and logistics would be expected from festival communications nearer to the event date.

Why It Matters

  • The 10th-anniversary tie-in shows how major films can extend cultural visibility through live, on-site programming at major festivals.
  • Festival attendees will be able to experience the film’s music in a concert setting tied to an international industry platform.
  • The use of Cartier Cinema Club underscores the role of branded festival series in funding and organizing special cultural events.
  • The announcement may drive additional attention to anniversary-era film audiences, particularly those drawn to music-forward presentations during festival week.
