Rare Beasts, the directorial debut of actor and musician Billie Piper, will receive its world premiere at the Venice film festival.
The Venice film festival runs from 28 August to 7 September.
The film has been selected for Venice’s international film critics’ week sidebar, and was described by the event’s general delegate Giona Nazzaro as “a completely unhinged comedy.”
She was named best actress at the Evening Standard awards in 2016 for her stage role in Yerma.
