With the 80th Venice Film Festival slated to begin on Wednesday, the festival's artistic director Alberto Barbera is opening up about some emotional moments he witnessed from stars Lady Gaga and Scarlett Johansson.The annual festival is not only the oldest film festival in the world, but it is considered one of the most important, serving as a barometer of sorts when it comes to gauging Oscar buzz for some of the year's most anticipated films.The festival always attracts A-listers - with George and Amal Clooney spotted earlier on Wednesday in Venice ahead of the festival.Before this year's festivities kick off, Barbera opened up to The Guardian about everything from the current strikes in Hollywood and this year's lineup.He also reflected on Gaga's festival debut in 2018 for A Star Is Born and Johansson's emotional response to the Under the Skin premiere in 2013... which Barbera said was one of the 'worst screenings' he's ever attended.
