At the Venice Film Festival, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will avoid each other; neither had to ask for the favor.

 At the Venice Film Festival, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie avoided each other; neither had to ask for the favor.

In happier times, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Staff members at the Venice Film Festival didn't need to be asked to give Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie more time between appearances. The authorities were "smart enough."

Beleaguered ex-partners Following their tumultuous divorce, Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie's Oscar-winning father, urged Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to "End this nonsense." The Venice International Film Festival's programmers, however, knew better than to interfere with their strained relationship and ruled out any awkward and probably undesired reunions.

To promote their own enterprises, the ex-couple will visit the magnificent festival, which will take place at Venice Lido in Italy from August 28 to September 7. Their difficult family dynamic would naturally make them want to prevent any conflicts, but they didn't force the film festival organizers to work extra hard to figure out how to properly space out their schedules.
