On the ground in Venice, Shane McKevitt takes the measure of After the Hunt. Alma and Hank are both jockeying for tenure at the university, yet there’s clearly more to their friendship than professional rivalry. Likewise, the events of After the Hunt unfold amidst the inherently exclusionary world of the Ivy League. After the Hunt fizzles out by the end, in spite of its promising start. After the Hunt premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on 29th August 2025.
