This month's Venice Film Festival has given us the perfect excuse to bring you some of the most interesting film stories right from the heart of Italy. And as it happens, this week marks a major milestone in Italian cinema. It's the 64th anniversary of both Fellini's 'La Strada' and Rossellini's 'Journey to Italy'.

To speak about these two significant game changers of the Italian cinema industry, Showcase is joined by the CEO of Film London and the British Film Commission, Adrian Wootton. He is also the advisor on Italian films at the London Film Festival as well as the programmer for the Venice Film Festival.

Attracting nearly half a million people each year, the Toronto International Film Festival has become one of the main destinations for cinephiles and filmmakers from around the globe. Over the years, its selection of features has received praise both for its variety and diversity. And is often looked at as an early indicator for Oscar contenders. This year's lineup is made up of 343 films, including red-hot arthouse favourites and some indie productions waiting on the fringe.

To speak about what to expect at this year's festival, the founder of awardswatch. com, Erik Anderson joins Showcase.

His name will be forever linked with one of the most memorable characters to ever grace the big screen: Beetlejuice. But Michael Keaton is more than just a comedy actor. From that role came later ones where he played everything from a real superhero to a washed up one. So as the actor celebrates another birthday, we thought we'd take a look back at a career that never seems to slow down.

To take a look at some of the highlights of Michael Keaton's career, and find out what he's up to next, Showcase is joined by movie critic and journalist David D'arcy from New York.

Since the 1930s, Disney has updated its classic stories to make them more relatable to each new generation. And now, an exhibition in Madrid is highlighting the origin of some of the iconic studio's most popular films - many of which are often hailed as some of the best works of animation ever created.

Brazil is suffering what President Michel Temer is describing as an "incalculable" loss. Brazil's oldest natural history museum and nearly everything in it was completed gutted by a fire on September 2. And as Miranda Atty reports, a place that was tasked with preserving the past is facing a very uncertain future.

Suspiria:

ArteFino Festival in Manila:

Horror fans have been waiting for the premiere of Suspiria for a long time. It's a remake of a low profile film from the 1970s that many say redefined Italian cinema. Along the way, it made a superstar out of its director Dario Argento and paved the way for a slew of copycats. And now after 41 years, the highly regarded Suspiria has been re-imagined by Academy-favourite Luca Guadagnino but opinions about the film are mixed.

Back in the 1950s, the introduction of 3D cinema marked a radical transformation in the movie going experience. Fast forward to today, where the advent of virtual reality is giving audiences the chance to actually participate in the films they're watching. And when it comes to popularizing these kinds of experiences, the Venice Film Festival is at the forefront.
