Veneto is a set, in Bibione they are looking for extras

The Veneto region is becoming a popular setting for Italian and international film productions, thanks to funding from the Regione del Veneto and support from the Veneto Film Commission. The town of Bibione, near Venice, has been chosen as the location for a new film called "Rivo Alto", directed by Clément Cogitore and produced by Kino Produzioni.

The film, set in the 6th century AD, tells the story of the founding of Venice and will be shot in October. A casting call for the film will take place in Bibione on August 22, 2026, seeking both extras and actors, preferably from the local area. The film's production is expected to bring economic benefits to the region, which has seen a positive trend in employment in the private sector, with 79,600 new jobs created between January and July 2026.
