We reveal the winners of last week's poll, for the upcoming Venice Film Festival, where we asked, "Which Film From The 2025 Venice Film Festival (Venezia 82) Are You Most Looking Forward To?" And for last week's poll, for the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), we ask, "Which World Premiere From The 2025 Toronto International Film Festival Are You Most Looking Forward To Seeing?"
