STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSVENICE - A strike by Hollywood actors kept most stars away from this year's Venice Film Festival, and even the few A-listers who did venture into town seemed guilty about being on the red carpet rather than the picket line.

Actors went on strike in July, joining writers who had walked off the job in May, to demand that streaming sites and film studios improve their contracts and impose curbs on the use of artificial intelligence. That meant the likes of Emma Stone, Michael Fassbender and Bradley Cooper, stars of"Poor Things","The Killer" and"Maestro" respectively, did not show up, as predicted.

Without their actors, the directors did most of the talking and were regularly quizzed about the dispute.
