Saint Laurent Productions, the cinematic arm of the iconic fashion house helmed by Anthony Vaccarello, is making headlines once again with the announcement of its latest feature film: Father Mother Sister Brother. Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, this new movie is set to premiere in competition at the prestigious 2025 Venice Film Festival, marking Jarmusch’s first appearance in the festival’s main competition lineup.
Inside the Saint Laurent Jim Jarmusch collaboration
The 82nd edition of the Venice Film Festival, running from August 27th to September 6th, 2025, will see Father Mother Sister Brother competing for the coveted Golden Lion. This poetic, character-driven triptych marks a new artistic chapter for both Jim Jarmusch and Saint Laurent Productions, whose recent cinematic ventures have redefined the intersection of high fashion and auteur cinema.
The film, structured as three interconnected stories, explores the complex emotional terrain between adult children and their distant parents. Set across three international locations—the northeastern United States, Dublin, Ireland, and Paris, France—each chapter weaves a subtle narrative of familial ties, solitude, and quiet beauty.
Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello not only co-produced the film, but also designed the costumes, adding a layer of signature style to the cinematic mood. This partnership builds on his bold vision for Saint Laurent Productions, the first film division launched by a fashion house to produce full-length features.
Saint Laurent Productions expands its cinematic footprint
Father Mother Sister Brother features an ensemble cast that reads like a who’s who of art-house cinema and global fashion culture: Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Charlotte Rampling, Mayim Bialik, Indya Moore, Françoise Lebrun, Luka Sabbat, Vicky Krieps, and Sarah Greene. Many are longtime collaborators of Jarmusch, adding authenticity and familiarity to the director’s intimate storytelling.
Behind the camera, cinematographers Frederick Elmes and Yorick Le Saux bring their visual mastery, while editor Affonso Gonçalves and production designers Mark Friedberg and Marco Bittner-Rosser elevate the film’s atmospheric depth. Music, composed by Jarmusch and Anika, was intentionally restrained—underscoring the director’s desire for the emotional tone to remain unforced and unfiltered.
As we look ahead to Venice 2025, one thing is clear: Jim Jarmusch’s new movie, backed by Saint Laurent Productions, is not just a film to watch—it’s a cultural moment to remember.
