September 2 - 77th Venice Film Festival Begins


Today, the 77th Venice Film Festival officially begins! The event is currently being held from September 2-12, 2020, albeit in a "more restrained format" due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Located in the Palazzo del Cinema ub Lido, Italy, the Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world. 

This year, Australian actress and theatre director Cate Blanchett was appointed as the President of the Jury. 
  
Also known as the Mostra Interazionale d'Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia", or "International Exhibition of Cinematographic Art of the Venice Biennale"), the ceremony is the third and final installment of the "Big Three". 
  
Founded in Venice, Italy, in August 1932, the festival is part of the Venice Biennale, an exhibition of Italian art founded by the Venice City Council on April 19, 1893.  
  
The range of work at the Venice Biennale now covers Italian and international art, architecture, dance, music, theatre, and cinema.  

These works listed below are experienced at separate exhibitions throughout the event. 

They include the International Art Exhibition, the International Festival of Contemporary Music, the International Theatre Festival, the International Architecture Exhibition, the International Festival of Contemporary Dance, the International Kids' Carnival. 
  
Arguably, the annual Venice International Film Festival is the best-known out of all the events. 
  
The festival is held in late August to early September on the island of the Lido in the Venice Lagoon. Screenings take place in the historic Palazzo del Cinema on the Lungomare Marconi. 

Regardless, the event still continues to be one of the world's most popular and fastest-growing. 

The aim of the Venice Film Festival is to raise awareness and promote international cinema in all its forms as an art, entertainment and as an industry, in a spirit of freedom and dialogue. 

The Festival also organizes retrospectives and tributes to major figures as a contribution towards a better understanding of the history of cinema.
