They arrived by water taxi, posed with their arms around each other and later raised their joined hands inside the Sala Grande. The change was plain enough to see: two brothers whose fights helped end Oasis in 2009 were sharing the ceremonial fuss around a film about the band’s 2025 reunion. For moviegoers, that matters because the documentary does more than preserve a large concert tour. It records the cautious business of putting two people, and a band, back in the same room. ## Liam and Noel Gallagher Arrive Side by Side The Manchester Evening News reported that the brothers waved and gave thumbs-up signs from their water taxi before attending a photo call with the filmmakers. For the evening premiere, both wore black jackets, held hands and signed autographs for people who had waited to see them. There is something funny about the Gallaghers going black tie. These are men who made parkas look like formalwear. Yet the photographs had their own force because neither brother was being asked to act alone. The pose required proximity: a hand held, an arm across a shoulder, two faces turned toward the same bank of cameras. They also skipped the film’s press conference, according to *The Hollywood Reporter*. So the red carpet offered an image of peace without turning that peace into a public interrogation. It showed where the brothers are now, while leaving some of the road there to the documentary. ![Overhead view of Noel Gallagher (centre, with Gibson J-150) and Mikey Rowe (right, at the psychedelic Oasis keyboard cabinet) performing at Metropolis Studios, London, 2018.

Oasis!” as Liam and Noel entered. A spectator called out to Liam, who replied, “Venice is a lovely place!” before taking his seat. After the two-hour film, the audience delivered an eight-minute standing ovation, according to the outlet. People sang “Champagne Supernova,” and Liam signed autographs from the stairs. He appeared ready to leave at first and gestured for a drink, but a member of the filmmaking team persuaded him to remain. Then Liam took Noel’s hand. They lifted their arms together, receiving another roar. A film festival can spend all week trying to manufacture grandeur. Sometimes two brothers manage it with one raised clasp. ![Noel Gallagher and Mikey Rowe performing at Metropolis Studios, London, for the Apple TV+ documentary Once in a Lifetime Sessions (2018).

Steven Knight created the film, which followed the band across 12 concerts on three continents, *The Hollywood Reporter* reported. The documentary also contains the brothers’ first joint interview in more than two decades, according to the outlet. That places a different weight on the quieter footage. A rehearsal room can reveal distance without anybody explaining it. The Daily Mail reported that remote cameras were used during rehearsals so the band could be filmed without a crew disturbing the room. The filmmakers began while relations were still strained, the Daily Mail reported. Liam and Noel travelled separately and were interviewed apart at first. The paper described an early rehearsal in which neither brother could look the other in the eye. Those details make the Venice hand-holding less like a handy photograph and more like evidence of work completed over time. ![Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds live at Pistoia Blues, Italy, on July 8th 2019](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/108f8c2e-8b26-4d4a-b073-57b7c62027e7.webp) ![Noel Gallagher playing live in Rome with his High Flying Birds, June 2018](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/baf9e419-7b3a-40c0-bc9e-fc6bd3f442a4.webp) *Photos: Prugna · [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Noel_Gallagher_2019.jpg); GiacomoSonweed · [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Noel_Gallagher_live_a_Roma,_22_giugno_2018.jpg)* ## Noel Gallagher Says the Brothers Now Meet as Equals Noel described their present relationship in unusually tender terms. “We get along now; we text like normal people,” he said, as reported by the Daily Mail. He credited the music with bringing them together and said the old irritations had faded. Noel also said he had sometimes turned his back to the crowd during the 41-date tour to hide his tears. Liam, meanwhile, said in the documentary that the reconciliation happened without an apology or a grand speech. According to the Daily Mail, he reduced the old rupture to a plain remark: they had an argument, and he had not meant matters to become what they did. Nobody outside the family can settle the emotional account between them. The reporting does establish that they can now rehearse, perform, sit for an interview and attend a premiere together. For the musicians, filmmakers and touring workers around Oasis, that difference is practical as well as sentimental. The show can happen because the brothers can stay in the room. ## The Oasis Film Leaves Venice for Cinemas The film screened in Venice’s out-of-competition program, so it was never chasing the Golden Lion. Its next stop is the paying audience. The Manchester Evening News reported a limited UK cinema release beginning September 9, followed by Disney+ at a later date. *The Hollywood Reporter* said select IMAX and US cinemas will open the film September 11, with Hulu carrying it later in the year in the United States and Disney+ streaming it internationally. That rollout will turn private-looking moments into a public record: the separate arrivals, the uneasy rehearsal and the shared interview. Venice offered one more image for the reel. Liam reached for Noel’s hand, and this time his brother held on. ## How this piece was made **Format:** Editorial feature ## In this piece - [Noel Gallagher](https://cinepixo.com/people/noel-gallagher) ## Sources - https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/noel-liam-gallagher-reunite-on-venice-red-carpet-for-oasis-documentary-world-premiere/vi-AA2bFKmL - https://jang.com.pk/en/72634-noel-and-liam-gallagher-reunite-in-venice-as-oasis-documentary-puts-feud-aside-news - https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-16109257/Liam-Noel-Gallagher-Venice-Film-Festival-Oasis-documentary.html - https://minutemirror.com.pk/noel-and-liam-gallagher-reunite-at-2026-venice-film-festival-625562/ - https://www.antimusic.com/p/26/r0906oasis_dont_look_back_in_anger_premieres_at_venice_international_film_festival.shtml - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/liam-noel-gallagher-venice-oasis-dont-look-back-in-anger-1236690586/ - https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/gallery/liam-noel-gallagher-rock-venice-34574146 - https://apnews.com/article/venice-film-festival-oasis-381e6d313713961eb444ce0fed3aa4a2 Every factual claim above is drawn from these.
